ALPFA’s Annual Scholarship Program

Washington, DC, January 29, 2009 -- The ALPFA Annual Scholarship Program runs from December 15, 2008 through March 15, 2009 and many scholarship opportunities are still available. While membership is not required, please note that preference is given to those applicants who are current ALPFA student members.

ALPFA offers scholarships to students, in the US or Puerto Rico, who are pursuing studies in Accounting, Finance, or Business related fields. The purpose of these scholarships is to encourage those students who have demonstrated academic excellence to continue pursuing their professional careers. Over the past 3 years, ALPFA has awarded students over $457,000 in scholarship money.

Freshman through senior students are eligible. However, please note that freshmen who apply need to be already enrolled in college and have college curriculum (transcript-verifiable GPA) under their belts. This program is not open to students who are currently in high school and will be entering college next Fall. Community college students that plan to transfer to a 4 yr. college/university for Fall ‘09 are also eligible.

Please note that the top 50 students selected will be invited to attend ALPFA’s National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts (August 8-12, 2009) with convention registration, airfare, and lodging expenses paid for by ALPFA.
