NSA Foundation

The NSA Foundation works to build career paths into and within the accounting profession. With its scholarship awards, the Foundation assists dedicated students who are committed to a career in accounting by providing financial assistance to support their education. With its educational grant program, the Foundation supports professional development and educational activities to expand the body of knowledge within today’s practitioner community.

Formed in 1969, the Foundation is a 501(c)3, tax-exempt organization and relies on voluntary, tax-deductible, contributions to support its programs. A Board of Trustees holds full fiduciary responsibility for managing the Foundation. Each year, thousands of students contact NSA seeking help to meet the ever-increasing costs of higher education. In response, the NSA Foundation provides financial backing to promising accounting students across the country. The Foundation awards scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in accounting degree programs at an accredited college or university. Applicants for awards are judged on the basis of scholastic achievement, demonstrated leadership ability, and financial need.

Your contributions enable the NSA Foundation to offer and expand scholarships to accounting students across the country.
