2024 Scholarship Awards Program
Students attending the universities listed here on a full time basis, who meet all other criteria, 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 our 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.
Students who meet the application criteria are invited to apply for a scholarship award from the Scholarship Fund. Students must complete the online application by the deadline--April 5, 2024. In addition to financial awards, winners receive a one year membership to the Greater Washington Society of CPAs and are recognized at our Annual Membership Meeting in June.
