Scholarships and awards
This year, the Foundation will support more than 200 students from across Quebec by offering $450,000 in scholarships, awards and grants. Through its nine scholarship programs, the Foundation encourages social involvement, recognizes excellence in future CPAs, supports CPAs at the doctoral level and promotes research in the areas of expertise of the CPA profession, while still giving due consideration to the priorities of financial assistance and academic persistence.
