The AICPA Fellowship for Minority Doctoral Students ensures that CPAs of diverse backgrounds are visible in college and university classrooms. The program's goal is to increase the number of minority CPAs who serve as role models and mentors to young people in the academic environment and university classrooms. The AICPA Foundation awards annual fellowships of $12,000 to full-time minority accounting scholars who demonstrate significant potential to become accounting educators.
For the 2016-17 academic year, 25 accounting doctoral-level students were selected as recipients of this prestigious honor. View the 2016-17 AICPA Minority Doctoral Fellowship recipients.
