2009 Becker Scholarships for Success 

Preparing for the CPA Exam can be challenging for any recent college graduate. The additional cost of exam preparation assistance adds to that challenge, especially for those already burdened with student loans.

Now in its second year, BeckerÂ’s Scholarships for Success program helps 50 deserving students who need financial assistance prepare for the CPA Exam.

Accounting professors from across the country were presented the opportunity to each nominate a deserving student for a scholarship. These students needed financial assistance to prepare for the CPA Exam and had to meet other criteria as well.
