KSCPA Educational Foundation

Mission

The mission of The Educational Foundation of the Kansas Society of Certified Public Accountants, Inc. is to fund educational programs that advance the accounting profession. Since 1963, the Educational Foundation has achieved its mission by awarding scholarships and grants to students and faculty.

Students receiving these scholarships obtain an increased awareness of the accounting profession and the opportunities that come with the CPA credential. Faculty grants allow the KSCPA to build cooperative relationships with the colleges and universities' faculties in Kansas. On average, the Educational Foundation awards $48,000 in scholarships and grants each year.

The Educational Foundation can only fulfill its mission by the generosity and support of its donors. Thank you for investing in the accounting profession's advancement through scholarships and other programs, like the KSCPA Accounting Career Kick-Start Program, that further the Educational Foundation's mission.

General Contributions. The Educational Foundation is supported by a $25 annual assessment paid by each paying KSCPA member, generous donations from the KSCPA Chapters, and additional contributions.

Plan 365. The Plan 365 fundraising campaign was created to endow a leadership scholarship in honor of Mary Ellen Kirkpatrick, one of the first ten women to receive a Kansas CPA Certificate and the first woman to chair the Kansas State Board of Accountancy. We seek 365 members of the KSCPA to contribute $1 per day ($365 lump sum) to the Educational Foundation to award a $2,500 undergraduate leadership scholarship annually to a full-time student enrolled as an accounting major in his or her junior year at a Kansas college or university.
