This scholarship program can help students meet the 150-credit hour requirement for CPA eligibility.
Interested students who meet the Programs eligibility criteria below are encouraged to apply to Texas Tech University's one-year master's in accounting program that runs any time between January 2025 and August 2026 following the University's standard criteria and processes for admission, and then apply separately to be considered for the Deloitte Foundation Accounting Scholars Program.
