By giving, you play a pivotal role in providing essential financial support and ensuring the future sustainability of our state’s accounting professionals.
The health of the pipeline of future accounting professionals is struggling, and providing scholarships to aspiring CPAs is part of NCACPA’s commitment to addressing these challenges.

The CPA Profession is facing a talent shortage, and these key factors are affecting our talent pool:
- Competition: Increased STEM programming in high schools and smaller graduating classes.
- Cost: Rising costs of higher education and CPA exam fees, along with exploding student debt.
- Teacher Shortage: A national shortage of tenured accounting faculty.
- Insufficient Supply: Competition is at an all-time high as businesses prepare for the surge of Baby Boomer retirements.
- Diversity Deficiency: The struggle to diversify the profession impacts innovation, ideas, and culture within organizations.
If left unchecked, firms and organizations employing CPAs may be ill-equipped to cope with these challenges, making the Foundation’s work more important than ever.
