Massachusetts CPA Society Awards $130,500 in Scholarships

The Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants (MSCPA) has announced that 52 students across the state were selected to receive a scholarship from the MSCPA’s Educational Foundation Scholarship Program. The students were presented with their awards at the MSCPA Believers and Achievers Recognition Reception on May 22 at Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy.

Scholarships are funded 100% through donations to the MSCPA’s Educational Foundation. This year, the MSCPA presented a record $130,500 in scholarships to students, a high-water mark for the Foundation.    “The Society is proud to support young people who will be the future of the CPA profession,” said Amy Pitter, president and CEO of the MSCPA. “Becoming a CPA opens up different opportunities in a variety of fields, and we couldn’t be happier to support students along their journey.”

The mission of the MSCPA’s Educational Foundation is to inspire and support the next generation of CPAs in Massachusetts. MSCPA scholarships are available for both undergraduate and graduate accounting students who are attending a college or university in Massachusetts or attending a college or university out-of-state with a permanent residence in Massachusetts. Scholarship funds are issued directly to the students and can be used for tuition, books, interviewing expenses or other needs. For more information about the Educational Foundation, click here.
