Full Description
The AICPA Foundation is an organization established in 1922 in order to help develop the scientific field of accountancy and accounting education.
They offer up to five $5,000 scholarships every year to liberal arts students and holders of non-business degrees who are currently pursuing both graduate studies in accounting and the CPA licensure. These scholarships were established in 1969 in honor of John Carey’s retirement from the AICPA after his 40-year-long activity as administrative vice president and executive director of AICPA, and editor and publisher of the Journal of Accountancy.

The scholarships will only be used for education-related expenses (e.g. tuition fees, room and board, books etc.) and will be sent directly to the university’s financial office.
