The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda (ICPAU) has unveiled the winners of the 2023 ICPAU Student Scholarship Programme.
ICPAU received applications from 330 applicants for the 2023 Scholarship Programme from April to June 2023.
The following 10 winners have been considered as the successful beneficiaries for the 2023 Scholarship Programme.
The beneficiaries are being awarded scholarships to study the Certified Public Accountants 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 May 2024, 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 fifth cycle. CPA Derick Nkajja, the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute noted the significance of professional accountancy education, “because accountants play pivotal roles in the sustainability of organisations, it is crucial that they are sufficiently skilled through professional accountancy education.”
“CPA is a professional accountancy qualification offered in hundreds of jurisdictions worldwide and the course aims to produce competent professional accountants capable of creating impact in economies,” 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. There are currently 50 beneficiaries since the inception of the programme.
