The Society sends applications to the accounting departments, accounting clubs, and financial aid offices in late January. The Society created the scholarship fund in 1990 to provide financial assistance and encourage deserving candidates to enter the accounting profession.
Students can renew the awards provided they continue to meet all eligibility requirements.
As an educator myself, I have seen how these scholarships can help. It is important that we all do everything possible to make sure students are aware of the program. The Scholarships Awards Committee, which includes representatives from all 11 chapters, selects recipients from each chapter area, based on the student s home address. The application deadline is April 1, 1999. By late January, students can pick up applications from their accounting department chairs, accounting clubs, or financial aid offices.
