The Alliance Scholarships are made possible through the generosity of public accounting firms and private companies throughout the Commonwealth. Applicants must be a graduate student, or an undergraduate student who has completed at least the first semester of their sophomore year. They must have the intention to pursue an accounting career in Massachusetts. Applicants may be attending a college or university in Massachusetts or attending a college or university out-of-state with a permanent address in Massachusetts. They must submit a recommendation from an accounting professor or high school teacher, academic advisor or job supervisor. Applicants must also submit an essay or a 2-3 minute video in which they describe what has shaped their decision to pursue a career in accounting. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Educational Foundation of the Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants for more information.
