August 11, 2025

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants (TSCPA) is pleased to award $280,000 in scholarships through the TSCPA Educational & Memorial Foundation to 120 students attending colleges or universities in Tennessee.

TSCPA Educational & Memorial Foundation scholarships are funded primarily through an endowment program known as the Life Associates Program, which was established in 1978 to recognize CPAs who made significant contributions to the scholarship fund for accounting students in Tennessee. Since that time, the program has grown to more than 700 members. Together, Life Associates have helped approximately 4,000 students over the last 25 years pursue a degree in accounting and sit for the CPA Exam.

“Developing the next generation of CPAs in Tennessee is one of TSCPA’s top priorities,” said TSCPA President/CEO Kara Fitzgerald, CPA, CGMA, CAE. “Thanks to the generosity of our members, the TSCPA Educational & Memorial Foundation scholarship program ensures we are working toward that goal by providing support to our state’s most promising accounting students each year.”

The 2025-26 academic year TSCPA Educational & Memorial Foundation scholarship recipients are listed on the TSCPA website at www.tscpa.com/education/college.

Scholarship recipients were selected on the basis of academic achievement, professor recommendation, leadership skills and financial need. For more information about TSCPA Educational & Memorial Foundation scholarships, visit www.tscpa.com/scholarships.
