Twenty-four students received Two-Year Transfer Scholarships, which award $5,000 each toward the tuition of exemplary students transferring from a two-year college to a four-year college or university to finish their accounting degrees.
Recipients must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and intend to major in accounting or a related field at their four-year school. A task force made up of AICPA Student Recruitment Committee members and CPA volunteers selects the recipients based on academic excellence, leadership skills, volunteerism, and overall commitment to becoming a licensed CPA. Recipients also become Student Affiliate Members of the AICPA.
