The Center for Native Scholarship aims to produce more Native CPAs by 2030Â
ALBUQUERQUE, NM â American Indian Graduate Center has created the Investing in Native CPAs Program, a $2M scholarship initiative that will fund 150 Native scholars pursuing accounting and finance degrees with the goal of increasing Native Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) within the next 10 years.Â
Funded with a generous $1 million gift from the Johnson Scholarship Foundation and a $1 million match from American Indian Graduate Center, which was made possible in part by MacKenzie Scottâs unrestricted donation , the Investing in Native CPAs initiative will increase diversity in the accounting and finance fields. The scholarship will support Native students with tuition and the cost of exam fees required for professional licensure, such as the Uniform CPA Examination Fee.Â
