Wisconsin High School accounting and business teachers who attended the Nov. 9, 2018, High School Educators Accounting Symposium were eligible to apply for an accounting career awareness grant from the WICPA Educational Foundation.
Nearly $53,000 in accounting career awareness grants have been awarded to 37 high school accounting and business teachers for 2019 accounting projects for their classrooms. Many of the projects involve multiple teachers, administrators, college or technical school faculty, and CPAs.
“The WICPA Educational Foundation’s Accounting Career Awareness Grant Program is an exciting opportunity for teachers and students to explore a variety of career opportunities available to those with an accounting degree,” said Michael E. Friedman, CPA, chair of the WICPA Educational Foundation. “It also reminds them that accounting can be fun.”
The WICPA Educational Foundation supports programs to improve awareness of the accounting profession and ensure the advancement and vitality of the profession.
