Asya Bangiyeva, who attends Long Island University in Brooklyn, encouraged students to apply. It gave me incentive to work harder and get better grades. Anyone who is an accounting major should definitely apply, because it really helps ease the financial burden put upon us as students. Terrence Anderson, who attends Baruch College, echoed Bangiyeva's views on the scholarship benefits and encouraged applicants to try get as much assistance as possible for their education. Payments are awarded in separate equal installments, one each semester.
Students can renew the awards provided they continue to meet all eligibility requirements.
The Society's program funds up to five years of study for students enrolled in a 150-hour program. Michelle Marco, a student at St. John's University, said the scholarship helped her attend graduate school. The scholarship helped to change my life. The Society sends applications to accounting departments, accounting clubs, and financial aid offices each January. The Scholarships Awards Committee, chaired by Kathleen Brown , includes representatives from all 11 chapters and selects recipients from each chapter area, based on the students' home addresses.
