The AICPA Scholarship for Minority Accounting Students is a scholarship program offered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The scholarship is designed to support minority students who are pursuing an accounting degree and are planning to become a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). The scholarship is open to undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled in an accounting program at an accredited college or university. Applicants must be members of an underrepresented minority group, such as African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, or Asian American/Pacific Islander.
The scholarship award ranges from $1,000 to $5,000, and up to 100 scholarships are awarded each year. The funds can be used to cover tuition, fees, books, and other education-related expenses.
The AICPA Scholarship for Minority Accounting Students aims to increase the diversity of the accounting profession by supporting minority students who are pursuing a career in accounting and becoming licensed CPAs. The scholarship also helps to promote awareness of the accounting profession among underrepresented minority communities.
