CalCPA is taking applications for its Doctoral Scholarship Program for individuals pursuing a Ph.D. in accounting. The scholarship is being made available to help address the significant shortfall in accounting department faculty at California colleges and universities. Therefore one requirement of the scholarship recipient will be to join the faculty of a four-year college or university located in California for at least three years.
The scholarship program will be administered by CalCPA’s Accounting Education Committee and funded by the CalCPA Education Foundation. Three doctoral candidates will be selected per year to receive a maximum of $10,000 per year with a possible renewal of three years total.
Applications are due to CalCPA by April 15. Accounting students, accounting education and the accounting profession will benefit from this opportunity.
