Our industry is facing a crisis.

Reports show that over 300,000 accountants and auditors have left the industry in the last two years alone, and colleges are seeing 36% fewer accounting grads compared to 12 years ago.

The need for talent is not slowing down. In fact, The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an average of 136,400 job openings for accountants and auditors every year for the coming decade.

 Today more than ever, we must be smart about attracting, educating, and mentoring talented new professionals.

Let’s keep our industry strong.

We’re building the next generation. Together.

When you partner with Scouts, you’re investing in our future—and improving lives.

“There’s never been a better time to pursue an accounting degree. The fact that more opportunities are opening up—and that accounting will always be an essential part of every business—means there’s great job security and long-term career paths for students in this field.”

"I am currently in my junior year, majoring in accounting. After graduation, I plan to become a CPA and receiving this scholarship will help me get closer to reaching this goal. Because I'm the first in my family to go to college, this award means a lot to me and my family. While I attend Mero State full time, I am also working part time to pay for my tuition and I am very grateful for your generosity. Thank you again for choosing to invest in my education and supporting me as I achieve my education goals.”

“Thank you so much for selecting me to be a recipient of this award. It is an honor. I will put it to good use towards my tuition costs, textbooks, and other academic expenses. College has been a tough journey. Now that I am expected to graduate in 2023, it is making me nervous and worried about how I am going to get through it. But, after learning I received your scholarship, it gave me more encouragement and made me believe in myself more. I will get through my last semester and graduate with my bachelor’s degree in accounting. Thank you again!”

“Thank you for your generosity. This is the first time I have ever won a scholarship, so it is very special and meaningful to me. After I complete my studies, I hope to also support the dreams of others. Thank you again for your thoughtful and generous gift.”

“I was informed that I was selected as a recipient of the Scouts Talent scholarship. I received this news with the deepest gratitude. I intend on including this great distinction on my resume. It is a great sense of relief. Putting myself through college primarily on student loans puts a lot of financial pressure on a person. A scholarship like this relieves some of that financial stress. Thank you very much for believing in me and helping me on my journey.”
