The Connecticut Society of CPAs (CTCPA) offers a range of scholarships through its Accounting Scholarship Foundation to support students at every stage of their accounting journey—from high school through college and into CPA licensure. Collectively awarding nearly $50,000 each year, these scholarships help aspiring CPAs offset the cost of education while recognizing academic achievement, leadership, and commitment to the profession.

Opportunities include awards for high school seniors, community college and four-year accounting students, minority students, and those pursuing the 150-hour CPA licensure requirement. Individual scholarships typically range from $500 to $5,000, with some students eligible to receive multiple awards over their academic career.

Designed to strengthen the future of the accounting profession in Connecticut, CTCPA scholarships encourage talented students to pursue accounting degrees and CPA licensure while connecting them to a supportive professional community. Learn more and apply on the CTCPA scholarships page.
