To be eligible for the scholarship, a student may have a maximum of 12 credits in business or accounting subjects in undergraduate studies and may not be actively taking part in a separate graduate accounting program at the time of application. Beyond this, the student must have been accepted to or must be in the process of applying for admittance to a graduate program from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business or the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs.
