CalCPA Institute Chapter Academic Scholarships

California accounting students apply through one of 14 CalCPA local chapter scholarship programs coordinated by the Institute. Eligibility varies by chapter but generally targets accounting majors at California colleges, often with free CalCPA student membership and chapter-specific residency or campus requirements. Individual chapter awards commonly range from $500 to $7,500, with deadlines spread across the academic year (examples include January, April, and December closes). Students choose their local chapter program and submit that chapter's application. CalCPA has awarded more than $1.2 million through 1,200+ scholarships over the past five years.
