NSA Foundation Scholarship Program

U.S. or Canadian citizens majoring in accounting at accredited U.S. two- or four-year colleges may apply for NSA Foundation scholarships. Applicants need a 3.0+ cumulative GPA and must have completed at least one college term before applying; permanent residents are generally ineligible except Arizona legal residents. Awards range from $1,000 to $2,500 and are one-time, though students may reapply annually. The Stanley H. Stearman Award is a separate renewable $2,000-per-year track for relatives of NSA members. The 2026 cycle opened January 15 and closed May 1, 2026. NSA has run this tax and accounting student aid program for decades.
