The Barbara M. Iannoni Scholarship is offered in honor of Barbara M. Iannoni, a 20-year employee of MassCPAs who retired in June 2018. It was Barbara's passion and work ethic that led to the creation of the Society's many high school and college outreach programs, and her devotion to helping support students pursue their own passion that led to the development of the Educational Foundation's Scholarship Program. This scholarship is awarded to a student that embodies Barbara Iannoni's work ethic, spirit and dedication to the accounting profession. Applicants must be an undergraduate or graduate 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.
