MPA Funding and Financial Benefits
There are multiple ways to further reduce the cost of your master's degree in accounting at Texas McCombs.
SCHOLARSHIPS
- Department of Accounting Scholarships are funded through financial contributions made by alumni, business partners, and friends of the department. These scholarships are directed towards MPA Bridge students in their graduate year to help defray some of the graduate tuition costs. The MPA Program Office sends the scholarship application to students in the spring before they enter graduate school. Scholarships typically range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Fifth Year Accounting Scholarships are administered by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. Applications are distributed by the MPA Program Office, but the office does not make the decision regarding who receives these scholarships.
- Other Accounting Scholarships: Several organizations offer scholarships to encourage the pursuit of an accounting education. For example, the AICPA provides a listing of several scholarship opportunities.
