About Scholarship
Students attending eligible universities are eligible to apply for an award from the GWSCPA Scholarship Fund. For this year, the Scholarship Fund will make several awards ranging from $3,000 for our undergraduate and graduate student awards to $5,000 each for the two special named awards: the Past President's Award and the Sue Marcum Memorial Award. To be eligible for the Past Presidents Award, students must demonstrate qualities and activities which will help them be a future leader within the profession, and for the Sue Marcum Memorial Award, students must demonstrate their commitment to community and volunteer service. The school that the student is attending must be offering an accounting degree that qualifies graduates to sit for the CPA exam. Applicants must be a rising senior or above for undergraduate awards; or may be entering an accounting-related graduate program for a graduate award. Applicants must be an accounting major having passed at least 9 credit hours in accounting. At least one letter of recommendation is required from an accounting professor at the school in which the student is currently enrolled. Applicants must submit a financial need statement that must also indicate the percentage of annual tuition currently covered by financial aid in the form of scholarships and/or loans. For the Past President's Award, demonstration of leadership qualities through resume, recommendation letter or personal essay or additional attachments is required. For the Sue Marcum Memorial Award, demonstration of community service through resume, recommendation letter or personal essay or additional attachments is required.
