MSCPA Educational Foundation Scholarship Program
Designed to recognize and encourage today's students who become tomorrow's accountants, the Foundation promotes new accountancy programs in higher education, and strengthens the links between business and academia. Contributions fund educational scholarships and provide financial assistance to CPA Exam candidates who have limited access to support. In addition, donations help to underwrite the cost of summer programs that introduce minority high school students to the accounting profession.
