Deloitte Foundation Accounting Scholars Program

Recipients of this award receive 100% of tuition and fees (excluding books and living expenses) via scholarships awarded by both the Deloitte Foundation and Anderson School of Management. The scholarship program provides financial support for academic sessions between the period June 2025 through August 2026 to help fund scholarships for students pursuing Anderson's one-year Master of Accounting and helps students meet the 150-credit hour requirement for CPA eligibility. In the spirit of supporting a racially and ethnically diverse student population and to strengthen the pipeline of diverse talent entering the CPA profession, the scholarship program endeavors to consider applicants from a broad pool of students that meet the eligibility criteria listed below.
