I have emphasized the numerous and diverse accounting certifications available. To that end I have delivered Continuing Professional Education to both the San Antonio Institute of Management Accountants as well as their Texas Council and a national committee. A member of IMA has reminded me fo this scholarship opportunity. Note you must join the IMA.
____________
Any IMA student member who has not previously received an IMA scholarship is encouraged to apply. MEF Scholarships are given at both the undergraduate and graduate student levels, and are based on academic merit and strength of outside recommendations, among other criteria. The scholarships carry awards ranging from $1,000 to $2,500.
In addition, any student who applies for an MEF Scholarship is automatically considered for the prestigious Stuart Cameron and Margaret McLeod Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship, which carries a $5,000 award, is given to one individual among the entire scholarship application pool who exemplifies excellence in all eligibility criteria. The award also includes lodging, transportation, and registration to IMA’s Annual Conference & Exposition in June and the IMA Student Leadership Conference in November.
The Stuart Cameron and Margaret McLeod Memorial Scholarship is bestowed annually by the Stuart Cameron McLeod Society (SCMS). Founded in 1934, SCMS is a special membership community within IMA whose members share a long history of service to IMA.
