Educational & Memorial Foundation of TSCPA

A 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, the Educational & Memorial Foundation of TSCPA was established in 1978 to receive tax-deductible contributions to support our scholarship program for promising accounting students. Over the past 30 years, the scholarship program has awarded more than $4.6 million to more than 3,000 students, making it one of the largest among all state CPA societies.

Funded by contributions from professionals like you, the scholarship program is critical to the continued development of the CPA profession in Tennessee, supporting deserving students who are pursuing accounting degrees across the state. While past support has been substantial, future needs continue to grow. Your tax-deductible gift will make it possible for us to support the best and brightest accounting students in Tennessee.
