Scholarships for Accounting Students
Scholarships are a type of free financial aid that helps students cover tuition and the cost of books, equipment, and fees — no repayment required. Anyone can apply for scholarships, but many scholarships focus on individual majors, like accounting.
According to the U.S. Department of Education (ED), accounting ranked as one of the top 20 associate degrees with the highest median student loan debt in 2022. Students who held a bachelor's or master's in accounting reported a median debt of over $24,000 and $28,200, respectively.
Accounting scholarships can help reduce this debt and make an undergraduate or graduate accounting degree more accessible. Organizations, schools, and businesses — usually those involved in the accounting profession — offer awards ranging from $500 to $15,000. Some scholarships cover the certified public accountant (CPA) or certified management accountant (CMA) exam fees.
These scholarship programs typically select recipients based on financial need, academic achievement, identity, or location — or a combination of these factors, as shown in the list of accounting scholarships below. Explore more than 30 scholarships for accounting students at all degree levels, and learn how to apply.
Tips for Finding and Applying for Accounting Scholarships
-
Start Early
Organizations open scholarship applications at different times throughout the year. Look for award options about a year in advance to avoid missing a deadline. Visit websites like College Board, Fastweb, and Scholarships.com for business and accounting scholarships. -
Make a List
Stay organized by listing all applicable scholarships, application deadlines, and submission requirements. Narrow your search by reviewing degree-specific and identity-based awards. -
Consider All Scholarship Options
Scholarships range from a few hundred dollars to complete tuition coverage. While the large awards may seem more appealing, small awards can add up quickly and make a significant difference to your out-of-pocket expenses. -
Prepare Materials
Allow plenty of time to collect and prepare all required application materials, including transcripts, resumes, and personal essays. Ask for recommendation letters well before the deadline so professors and employers have enough time to write them. -
Customize Applications
Scholarships differ greatly. Each one might focus on a unique professional or personal theme. Ensure each essay, letter, and resume reflects those differences and highlights relevant experience. -
Check Your Work
Take time to carefully review each application. Consider writing essays outside the online application form so a friend, mentor, or teacher can review and proofread them.
Types of Scholarships for Accounting Students
Because scholarships break down into different categories, students can improve their searches and organize their applications by dividing scholarship programs into groups based on their classifications and requirements. Many scholarships may fall into multiple categories. Read about some of the major categories below.
Accounting Concentration
Some organizations and private donors establish scholarships to promote specific fields within accounting, such as management accounting, financial accounting, cost accounting, and forensic accounting. These scholarship programs may require applicants to specialize in these disciplines or pursue careers in their respective fields.
Degree Level
Students at all levels can access scholarships, but many programs limit applications to learners pursuing specific types of degrees. Whether students pursue accounting certificates, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, or Ph.D.s in accounting, they can find scholarships for their education level.
Enrollment Status
Most scholarship programs' requirements are based on enrollment status. Some require applicants to attend school full time, while others support part-time and nontraditional students. Online students and distance learners may find scholarship programs created specifically for them.
Diverse Populations
Many organizations, companies, and associations offer scholarships for underrepresented populations like women and people of color. These scholarship programs often look for students in specific programs to increase representation in these fields.
- Consider applying for identity-based scholarships offered by groups like the Hispanic Scholarship Fund.
- Some organizations, such as the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) and the Educational Foundation for Women in Accounting (EFWA) offer identity-based awards exclusively for accounting majors.
Military
Military scholarships typically support current and veteran military professionals in their pursuit of higher education. Some of these programs look to recruit future service professionals by providing financial aid to promising students in military-related disciplines.

School-Specific
Students can also apply for school-specific scholarships to help fund their education. Similar to the categories above, many school-specific scholarships have additional requirements that focus on certain groups of candidates. For example, some universities might offer aid specifically for accounting students. Look on the financial aid page and, if applicable, the business school website. A few examples include:
Corporations
Many corporations set up scholarship programs to help current and aspiring students fund their education. These programs often award scholarships to students pursuing degrees in specific fields.
- Contact nearby accounting firms to inquire about scholarship opportunities. Some, like McKonly & Asbury, offer scholarships to accounting students at local colleges and universities.
- The Deloitte Foundation partners with schools nationwide to provide accounting scholarships.
Nonprofit Organizations
Groups like the Teachers of Accounting at Two-Year Colleges (TACTYC) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) award scholarships to undergraduate and graduate accounting students.
National and International Accounting Organizations
Organizations and associations offer many scholarship opportunities to reward promising applicants in their respective fields. In many cases, applicants must become association members. These groups often award multiple scholarships each year.
- For example, the National Society of Accountants (NSA) and the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) offer several scholarship programs, most with multiple winners.
- The Institute of Management Accounts (IMA) awards grants and scholarships to students worldwide.
Government-Specific
Some organizations offer finance and accounting scholarships for students interested in entering the public sector. For example, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awards scholarships to finance, business administration, public administration, economics, and accounting students preparing for careers in state or local government.
Location-Based
Geographical scholarships can come from several sources, such as specific chapters of organizations or professional associations. Private donors can establish these programs for local students. State or local governments also may create their own scholarships. Applicants may need to graduate from schools in the region, currently reside in the area, or attend schools in that location.
- State Accounting Associations: Research scholarship opportunities from professional state accounting organizations like the Pennsylvania Society of Tax & Accounting Professionals. State CPA societies also may offer accounting-specific scholarships. Applicants typically must prove state residency, employment in the state, or enrollment in one of the state's schools and become a member of the society. While not inclusive, the list below includes several CPA state organizations with active scholarship programs exclusive to accounting students:
- Connecticut Society of CPAs
- Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants
- Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants
- Illinois CPA Society
- Kentucky Society of CPAs
