Ernst & Young Fund for Excellence in Accounting Education

Honoring Outstanding Accounting Students

The Ernst & Young Fund for Excellence in Accounting Education was established by Ernst & Young LLP to promote educational excellence in accounting at Pace University. The Fund will provide scholarship awards of $5,000 ($2,500 for the fall semester and $2,500 for the spring semester) each to outstanding students who are enrolled in the Lubin School of Business in a qualified accounting program and maintain a 3.30 GPA. Students eligible for these awards must demonstrate involvement and leadership in either co-curricular activities at Pace or service organizations in their local community or high school.

Scholarship awards will be granted annually and may be used for tuition and/or related costs. Awards may be renewed through a newly submitted and reviewed application. Recipients may receive this award for no more than three academic years, during their third, fourth, and/or fifth year of undergraduate study at Pace, as long as they remain eligible according to scholarship criteria. Graduate students and Pace University Law School students may receive this award for no more than three academic years as long as they remain eligible according to scholarship stipulations. ALL students must be enrolled full time during both the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 semesters. Students must be US citizens to be eligible for this scholarship.
