TSCPA Awards $285,000 in Scholarships

July 29, 2022

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – The Tennessee Society of CPAs (TSCPA) is pleased to award $285,000 in scholarships through the Educational & Memorial Foundation of TSCPA to 111 students attending colleges or universities throughout Tennessee.

TSCPA scholarships are funded primarily through the generous support of CPAs across the state of Tennessee. Much of this support comes from an endowment program known as the Life Associates Program, which was established in 1978 to recognize CPAs who made a financial commitment to the scholarship fund for accounting students in Tennessee. Together, TSCPA members have helped nearly 4,000 students over the years pursue a degree in accounting and sit for the CPA exam.

The TSCPA scholarship program awards both general scholarships as well as named scholarships that are established and awarded in compliance with specific criteria determined by the donor.

The 2022-23 academic year TSCPA scholarship recipients are:
