The CPA Exam consists of four parts taken over about 18 months, and individuals must take and pass all four parts to become licensed CPAs.

This scholarship was available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are pursuing licensure and who have some financial need; i.e. not receiving other scholarships or grants or employer reimbursement. Applicants had to provide a copy of Notice To Schedule for at least one section of the CPA Exam and a copy of receipt for payment of exam application fees or proof of purchase of CPA Exam preparatory courses/materials.

The AICPA offers a host of annual scholarships for college students and fellowships for Ph.D. candidates. In addition, they have consolidated hundreds of accounting scholarship opportunities from third parties on their ThisWayToCPA website.
