ASWA (American Society of Women Accountants) was formed in 1938 to increase the opportunities for women in all fields of accounting and finance. Members include partners in national, regional and local CPA firms, financial officers, controllers, academicians, financial analysts and data processing consultants, recent college graduates and women returning to the work force. The majority of our members have attained professional certifications such as CPA, CMA, CIA, and CFP. The mission of ASWA is to enable women in all accounting and related fields to achieve their full personal, professional and economic potential and to contribute to the future development of their profession.

 

In order to promote Accounting as a profession the San Francisco and Bay Area Chapter of ASWA is pleased to be able to offer a scholarship of $1,000 to a third or fourth year student in accounting. In addition to the scholarship the successful candidate will receive a free annual membership to ASWA and the support and mentorship of an active group of accounting professionals.
