Dear Professor,
Thank you for being one of the many educators who have nominated students for the CMA Scholarship program and provided your students the opportunity to pursue this valued global credential at no cost to themselves. The CMA Scholarship program has grown significantly since it was first launched in 2012. Since then, more than 20,000 students have received a scholarship, representing more than $35 million of total scholarship value.
As we strive to continuously improve the program, we will be updating the way student information is collected for their CMA Scholarship. Effective September 1, 2022, any student you nominate must first visit the IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) website and create an account. This will help ensure they are actively invested in the opportunity and, for privacy purposes, that they are securely entering their own information on the site.Therefore, the first step in the process is for each student you nominate to create their own account on the IMA website. No purchase will be required. If the student needs instruction on how to create an account, direct them here for instructions (see the paragraph titled “Where are the application forms?”). The second step will be that you submit a nomination form which will include the email the student used to create their account. This will allow us to activate the scholarship on our end.
To help you with this new process, we’ve drafted a sample email below for you to send to your students. Please feel free to edit as you see fit.
We strongly encourage you to continue to take full advantage of nominating up to 10 students per school per academic year. It is an incredible opportunity for students to be able to begin their certification journey while they are still in school, in their best test-taking mode, and with accounting and finance topics fresh in their minds. With the strong curricula in place at your school, plus the Gleim CMA review course materials the students will receive, it will be the perfect match to help them succeed! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
Best regards,
The CMA Scholarship Team
