TXCPA Scholarships

10/25/2023

The Accounting Education Foundation of the Texas Society of CPAs is pleased to announce that we are accepting scholarship applications for the 2023-24 academic year.  Last year, the Foundation awarded $126,000 in scholarships to students intending to earn the CPA credential in Texas.  This year the Foundation plans to award fifty $2,500 scholarships to students attending Texas colleges and universities. We ask that you follow these steps in connection with this scholarship program: 

 

1. Distribute the application link: https://txcpa.secure-platform.com/a to all students eligible to apply for the scholarship.  Students must complete and submit the application online. Schools are no longer limited to a maximum number of applications.

 

2. Applicants must submit electronically a current transcript during the application process. The selection committee will not consider an application unless a transcript has been received.  If the applicant has attended more than one university, the cumulative college transcript should show grades and credit received from all previous schools.  If the transcript does not show a previous record, then a separate transcript (or transcripts) will be required. 

 

3. A short nomination form will be sent to the faculty member the applicant identified in the application process.

 

The deadline for receiving applications and all supporting documents is Tuesday, October 31, 2023.  Awards will be made during the fall semester and will be sent to the school for disbursement to the students.  We appreciate your efforts in making this scholarship program a success and look forward to receiving applications from your students. 

 

Please note, incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
