Deloitte Foundation Accounting Scholars Program

The Deloitte Foundation is a US nonprofit accelerating equity, innovation, and excellence in education. It supports programs that work in parallel with Deloitte's MADE (Making Accounting Diverse and Equitable) commitment.

The Deloitte Foundation and participating universities will provide the Deloitte Foundation Accounting Scholars a scholarship that covers 100% of their tuition and academic fees (excluding books and living expenses) for the 2025–2026 academic year.
