Here what some of our students had to say about their experience at the Accounting Scholarship Leadership Workshop:
"The ASLW was such an amazing opportunity and I'm very grateful to have been invited to attend along with all the other prestigious students from all over the US. During the workshop, we listened to speakers tell us about their journey through the accounting profession and how they overcame adversity. We also had the chance to talk with many professionals who work in various industries which helped me learn about the different paths an accounting degree can lead to. Most importantly for me, however, were the relationships I was able to build with other students who are just like me. Hearing their stories of how they handled adversity motivated and inspired me to keep moving forward with my education and become a CPA. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would encourage every accounting student to attend."

"The AICPA and the Accounting Scholars Leadership Workshop gave me the opportunity to hear from successful individuals both in and outside of the accounting profession. I received a lot of resources and support and it felt great to be surrounded by student leaders all striving towards one common goal: passing the CPA exam."
