The AWSCPA Scholarship Award is a scholarship program offered by the American Women’s Society of Certified Public Accountants (AWSCPA). The scholarship is designed to provide financial assistance to women who are pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in accounting or a related field, and who plan to pursue a career as a Certified Public Accountant (also called CPA).
The AWSCPA Scholarship Award provides up to $4,000 to eligible candidates. The scholarship can be used to cover tuition, fees, and textbooks. The number of scholarships awarded each year varies depending on available funds.
In addition to academic achievement and financial need, applicants are evaluated based on their leadership skills, involvement in extracurricular activities, and commitment to the accounting profession.
The AWSCPA Scholarship Award is a competitive scholarship, and recipients are selected by a committee of AWSCPA members. The scholarship application deadline is typically in the spring, and applicants are notified of their award status in the summer.
