AIA scholarships

A life-changing opportunity

The application date for the AIA Scholarships programme is approaching fast, so it really is the time to sign up.

If you want a career in accountancy or audit, time is running out to apply for the AIA Scholarship Programme. The deadline is March 1 2025, so act now to secure this fully funded opportunity to gain the AIA professional qualification and take a big step towards your future.

The Association of International Accountants (AIA) is committed to making accountancy more accessible by offering scholarships to talented individuals who may not have the financial means to qualify otherwise. These scholarships help break down barriers and encourage diversity in the profession.

Carl Jepson, AIA’s Director of Sales and Marketing, said: “Helping students from underrepresented backgrounds achieve their career goals is at the heart of what we do. These scholarships make a real difference, providing financial education and unlocking the potential of future accountants.”

Two scholarship options

AIA offers two types of scholarships, both covering full costs for the AIA professional qualification, including exemption fees, exam fees, and tuition through the AIA Achieve Academy.

• AIA Accountancy Scholarship UK Five scholarships are available in the UK, with two specifically reserved for candidates from lower-income backgrounds as part of AIA’s commitment to Access Accountancy. This initiative helps promote social mobility and ensures that financial barriers don’t stop talented individuals from entering the profession.

• AIA Commonwealth Scholarship Open to students from Commonwealth nations outside the UK, this scholarship supports AIA’s mission as a Commonwealth Accredited Organisation to advance financial education and professional development worldwide.

Chance to shape your future

These scholarships provide more than just financial support. They open doors to valuable industry connections and set recipients on a path towards a successful career in accountancy or audit. Previous scholars have gone on to secure top roles in the sector and contribute to positive change in the financial industry.

To apply, candidates need to submit a short essay on one of two topics: ‘What would this scholarship mean to you?’ or ‘Why is a career in accountancy important to you?’

Successful applicants will show a clear vision for their future and how they want to make a difference in the profession.
