Funding Now - Future MSCPA Member and Contributor:
"This scholarship will greatly help me in funding the remainder of my education. After graduation, I plan to use
my accounting knowledge in the audit practice of a large public accounting firm in Kansas City. Eventually, I would like to
use my auditing experience to work in the accounting department of a private firm. I also hope to soon be a practicing member
of the MSCPA, and to contribute to the scholarship fund in order to help future accounting students as I have been helped."

Funding Makes Career Pursuit Possible: "This scholarship
is a huge help to me funding the final year of my education. Upon graduation, I plan to use the knowledge I've gained throughout
my college education to help me take the CPA exam. I plan to pursue a career in public accounting, and see where that takes
me. Again, I'm very thankful for the MSCPA's continued support. Without scholarships like these, attending college, and becoming
a CPA, would not have been possible for me. I truly thank you for helping me reach those goals."

Promoting Profession Impacts: "I'm honored to receive a LEAP minority scholarship. It's awesome
to have an organization such as the MSCPA that is doing so much to promote the CPA profession. As a graduate student pursuing
the CPA licensure, it's great to have access to all of the resources the MSCPA has to offer. As I move forward with completing
my education, and starting my career in accounting, I look forward to becoming more involved with the MSCPA."
