PCAOB Academic Scholarship Program (show details )
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, monetary penalties imposed by the PCAOB must be used to fund merit scholarships for students in accredited accounting degree programs. The Board has established the PCAOB Scholarship Program to provide a source of funding to encourage outstanding undergraduate and graduate students to pursue a career in auditing.
On an annual basis, the PCAOB will select, with the help of ACT, educational institutions and invite them each to nominate, by the deadline, an eligible student as a recipient of the PCAOB Scholarship. The scholarships are one-time awards that will be paid directly to the educational institution for eligible expenses such as tuition, fees, books, and supplies. Recipients will receive written notification of their selection as well as notification when the funds have been provided to the school.
Selection of Nominating Institutions
The PCAOB, with ACT's help, will select institutions to provide student nominations by using a statistical selection process that follows protocols for fairness and impartiality. Seventy-five percent of the scholarships will go to students attending institutions in Group A and twenty-five percent will be awarded to students who attend institutions in Group B. Schools selected as nominating institutions in a given year will not be considered for selection for the next five years or until all institutions in the respective group have been selected, whichever occurs first.
The Program is merit-based and students eligible to receive a PCAOB Scholarship must:
-Be enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree program in Accounting
Phone: 319-337-1951
Questions regarding the scholarship can be directed to ACT.
