Thirty students have earned scholarships from the National Society of Accountants (NSA) Scholarship Foundation. Together, they will receive $37,950 in scholarship awards.

The Foundation has provided more than $1 million since 1969 to deserving undergraduate and graduate students who are committed to pursuing a career in accounting, helping to develop more qualified young accountants.

The scholarships range from $500 - $3,000. Recipients were selected on the basis of an overall outstanding academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, honors, work experience, stated goals and aspirations, and financial need.

“These students are the best and brightest candidates working to earn accounting degrees,” says NSA Scholarship Foundation President Sharon E. Cook, EA, ABA, ATA, ATP, ARA. “We are pleased to support them and look forward to having them join the accounting profession.”
