- The Idaho Society of CPAs (ISCPA) is accepting scholarship applications for the 2024–2025 academic year.
- Scholarships will be awarded in June 2024.
- Application deadline: May 15, 2024.

Who is eligible
You may apply if you meet all of the following:

- a graduate student.
- Have at least two semesters (or equivalent) of coursework remaining after June 2024.
- Cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher for all coursework completed before you apply.

Notes on GPA and non-traditional students

- All scholarship recipients must maintain the required GPA for each semester the scholarship is in effect.

How recipients are selected
ISCPA will review all complete applications and recommend recipients based on:
- A genuine desire for further education or professional training.
- Individual achievement shown through activities, leadership roles, and/or work experience.
- Academic performance (GPA/standing) will be considered but is not the primary factor.
