Dear Hannah,
The start of a new school year is exciting, but for the many students who struggle to afford pursuing their accounting degrees, it's also a challenging (and scary) time. Offering scholarships to accounting students is one way we can help fuel the accounting pipeline and build a diverse talent pool. As our Educational Foundation enters a new fundraising year, I'm asking for your support.
By donating to the Foundation, you will help deserving students move one step closer to achieving their dreams of entering our profession, and you'll have a direct impact on their lives.
"Thank you to all my donors for helping to grant me the MSCPA's Women in Accounting Scholarship. This truly means a lot to me, as I migrated to the states to receive a proper education and succeed in accounting. Getting the CPA is an ultimate dream of mine, and I am really grateful for people out there like you who are helping my dreams become a reality. I will take the CPA Exam in 2021, and thanks to your support, I am motivated to keep pushing and pass it all. Thank you for helping students like
me succeed and for paving a successful future for us. My family is extremely proud and thankful as well for this accomplishment."
