This expansion strengthens the accounting pipeline by encouraging more students to progress toward advanced coursework, complete the remaining credit hours, and ultimately pursue CPA licensure. Reaching students earlier and supporting them as they plan their educational next steps helps ensure a stronger, more diverse future for the profession. JOIN US IN MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT You’ll find our 2025-2026 scholarship recipients featured on pages 22-25. These outstanding students represent the bright future of the accounting profession. The success of our scholarship program is possible only because of the generosity and commitment of our members, firms, and supporters. If you haven’t already, I invite you to become a donor and help increase our impact. A contribution of any size helps propel a student toward completing their degree and, ultimately, joining the CPA ranks. You’ll see the annual Honor Roll of Donors in Issue 1 of 2026.
