This scholarship was created to assist students and CPA candidates with some of the costs associated with taking the CPA Exam.

Program Background At least 50 extraordinary applicants will be paid up to $1,500 in a lump sum to reimburse for exam fees and CPA exam preparatory courses.

Applicants must provide a copy of Notice to Schedule (NTS) for at least one section of the CPA Exam and a copy of the receipt for payment of exam application fees. For reimbursement of CPA Exam preparatory courses/materials, applicants must provide proof of purchase with their application. Some recipients may be awarded less than the full amount of this scholarship.

This scholarship does not intend to reimburse tuition expenses and may be taxable by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

• Be an AICPA Student Affiliate member or an AICPA CPA Exam Candidate Affiliate member (or have submitted a new member application). AICPA Student Affiliate membership is free. A promotional code is available within the scholarship application to waive fees for the first year of AICPA CPA Exam Candidate Affiliate membership.
• Be planning to pursue CPA licensure but not currently be a CPA.
• Be approved to test by NASBA or your State Board of Accountancy and agree to sit for at least one part of the exam within nine months of the date on the application approval letter.
