The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business is proud to collaborate with the Deloitte Foundation to champion diverse talent entering the CPA profession. Together, Fisher College of Business and the Deloitte Foundation are providing a limited number of full scholarships  (excluding books and living expenses) for selected students interested in pursuing Fisher’s one-year master’s in accounting. In the spirit of supporting the diversity of the student population, the University shall endeavor to consider a pool of students who meet the recipient eligibility criteria listed below that includes students who are from historically under-represented communities or who are first-generation college students, and students who have demonstrated a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and/or who have faced or appreciate challenges faced by members of demographic groups that are disproportionately under-represented in the field of public accountancy in comparison to the general population. This scholarship program can help students meet the 150 credit hour requirement for CPA eligibility.

Specifically, the criteria to be considered for this award are:

• Must have the ability to reside in the United States and the intention to pursue career opportunities in the United States after graduating from the University. (i.e. U.S. citizen, or U.S. permanent resident, or has DACA status, or has political asylee status, or has refugee status)
• Currently enrolled in an accredited college/university in the United States
• Pursuing an undergraduate baccalaureate degree in accounting from an accredited program (Note: Undergraduate finance or other business majors would also be eligible if they can complete the master of accounting program by August 2025).

• Have an interest in pursuing a career in public accounting and obtaining their CPA, but not presently a CPA
