Growing and Nurturing Future CPAs Through The Educational Foundation
Raising funds for the many scholarships and programs is a year-long endeavor. There are multiple opportunities for GSCPA members to donate to the Foundation at any point in the year, making it convenient for you to give back to the profession's future.
All GSCPA members are encouraged to donate through one or more available programs. By attracting the best and brightest students to the accounting profession, you have attracted the best and the brightest candidates to fill your next open position.
Thanks to your generous contributions, scholarships ranging from $1,000-$5,000, for a total of $109,700, were awarded to over 60 accounting students from 14 different universities and colleges. The Foundation awarded an additional $16,000 in scholarships through the Chapter Matching Funds Program, and GSCPA chapters granted Georgia universities and colleges $3,000 in institutional support for a grand total of $128,700. Students were selected based on their commitment to pursuing a career in accounting, academic performance and leadership skills.
