They are 10 winners, and they applied for the scholarships from June to July 2022. Their names are listed below.
The students beat 489 applicants from 32 Uganda universities and 3 foreign universities.
They are being awarded scholarships to study the Certified Public Accountants of Uganda [CPA(U)] course.
The scholarship package covers registration, annual studentship renewal, examination fees, and the cost of study material.
The students are scheduled to write their first examinations in August 2023, and they are required to complete the course within two and a half years.
The ICPAU Student Scholarship Programme was introduced in 2019, as part of the Institute’s Corporate Social Responsibility, to nurture young talent in the field of professional accountancy. The programme is in its fourth cycle.
CPA Derick Nkajja, the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute noted the significance of professional accountancy education.
“The CPA course imparts both technical and professional skills, thereby guaranteeing the competence of Certified Public Accountants,” he said.
“Furthermore, the course emphasises professional values and attitudes which are crucial for accountants,” he added.
The ICPAU Student Scholarship programme targets university graduates from public and private chartered universities who have first-class honours or second-class honours (upper division) degrees.
Since the inception of the programme, there are now 40 beneficiaries.
