We are proud to announce the Circle of Success educational grant designed to support priority communities on their journey towards becoming a CPA.
This educational grant was developed in close consultation with Indigenous and Black CPAs, educators and business leaders from our Knowledge Building Councils. It offers a circle of support, beyond financial, to Indigenous and Black students on their path to making a real impact on their communities and beyond.
The Circle of Success Educational Grant is dedicated to empowering First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students on their journey to becoming CPAs. By providing essential resources and support, this grant aims to nurture the next generation of Indigenous CPAs and business leaders.
