Clay Ford Scholarship

The Clay Ford Minority Scholarship offers financial assistance to the historically underserved population of students in Florida. Students seeking a bachelor's or graduate degree in accounting are welcome to apply. To encourage students to remain in school for the fifth year required to obtain a CPA license, a fifth-year Clay Ford Scholarship Program has been established, setting aside $200,000 per year in scholarships. If requirements are met and money is available, applicants may be eligible for scholarships up to $8,000 per semester, which are awarded for a maximum of two semesters. Application Requirements: Complete the application; submit official transcripts verifying the completion of 120 semester hours from an accredited institution (unofficial transcripts will not be reviewed); Financial Aid Verification form completed by the university financial aid office with an official signature and seal; Registrar's Verification form completed by the university registrar's office with an official signature and seal; 500-word essay on your career objectives. Application deadline: June 1 of each year. For questions, contact the Florida Board of Accountancy at (352) 333-2505.
