History of the Educational Foundation

1958

1958

Since 1958, the Educational Foundation of the Colorado Society of CPAs has been providing support to the best and brightest Colorado accounting students who want to become CPAs.

The Foundation awards scholarships based primarily on merit and the student's commitment to pursuing accounting as a career goal. The process involves completion of an application and submission of supporting materials such as essays, resumes, and grade transcripts, which the trustees review to select scholarship recipients.

Staff labor to carry out Foundation operations is donated by the Colorado Society of CPAs, keeping overhead costs low.

2004

The Centennial Scholars Campaign of 2004 raised over $1 million for scholarship assistance and greatly enhanced the Foundation's ability to strengthen the profession for generations to come.

In the past 10 years the Foundation has been able to take the scholarship size up to $2,500, award significantly more scholarships than in the past, and offer support to graduate-level students.

Present

Present

Even as the Foundation has made these great strides and helped more students succeed, tuition inflation and economic uncertainty have put education out of reach for many. Scholarship assistance has never been more necessary. Now a fifth year of study is required for those pursuing the CPA credential and accounting students will need extra resources to make that career commitment.

The Foundation encourages Colorado CPAs to give back to the profession by supporting the Foundation's program of financial assistance to students who will be the next generation of CPAs.

Testimonials

Without the assistance of the scholarships I received, including those from the Educational Foundation, my goal of becoming a CPA may not have been realized. Now that I have achieved my goal, I strive to help others reach their goal of becoming a CPA."
