CEO MESSAGE
Dear Hannah,
The race is on! We have more scholarship applications than ever, so we need you to help the next generation of accountants make it to the finish line.
The MSCPA recently launched a scholarship specifically for accounting students from the top 14 alma maters of our members, and its success depends on
you. Right now, UMass Amherst
and Bentley are in the lead with Babson and Bryant nipping at their heels. See how your school is doing and donate by April 1 to move your
college ahead! A student at each of the 14 schools that receive $2,500 in designated donations will receive a scholarship. If a school doesn’t
meet the $2,500 threshold, your donation will be used for Exam vouchers for accounting graduates. Tell your friends, tell your enemies - Don’t
leave your school at the gate! Watch this video to see the impact your donation will have on future
recipients. As this particular scholarship is in its infancy, we need your support now more than ever, and your donation is tax deductible.
Please, be true to your school and donate today. Have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter MSCPA President/CEO
