Each year the MSCPA’s Educational Foundation awards approximately $40,000 in scholarships to students who are majoring in accounting at Missouri universities/colleges.  Please encourage any aspiring CPAs you know to apply.

High school seniors are awarded $500, and college students earn $1,250 to use toward their accounting education.  A minority scholarship is also offered, and recipients receive $1,250.  The highest-rated college applicant is presented the Don Breimeier Memorial Scholarship, which is an additional $1,000.

Congratulations to the 2012-2013 scholarship winners!  Please check back in the fall for details regarding the 2013-2014 scholarship program.

Applicants must be:  

• MSCPA college or high school student members, which is free of charge and can be obtained online;
• Recommended by an educator or school administrator;
• Missouri residents and a U.S. citizen (or child of an MSCPA member);
• Enrolled in at least 12 course hours at a college/university in Missouri (high school seniors enrolled upon graduation); and
• Declared as an accounting major (or its equivalent).

Winners are selected based on a point system, rating their GPA, educator recommendation, and leadership potential (honors, awards and activities).  In addition, ACT/SAT score is factored in for high school seniors.
