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

FUTURE CPAs

Apply Online for an MSCPA Ed Foundation Scholarship
Need help with the cost of tuition and books? Scholarships in the amount of $2,500 are available for undergrad and graduate accounting students who are earning at least nine credits at a Massachusetts college or university. Students who are residents of Massachusetts and attending an out-of-state college are also eligible. Awards will be presented at a recognition reception on May 17 at the Granite Links Country Club in Quincy. Hurry, the deadline is April 1!



Financial Assistance for CPA Exam Candidates
We know the CPA Exam is expensive, that’s why we established a lottery to award $500 vouchers to get you on your way. To be eligible, you must be a Massachusetts resident who plans to sit for the exam between May 1, 2017 and April 30, 2018. In addition, you cannot receive financial assistance from your employer in the form of payments/reimbursements of exam fees or review courses, or a bonus upon passing.
