Accounting Education Foundation
For more than 50 years Texas CPAs have generously funded the TXCPA Accounting Education Foundation’s mission to position students, educators and professionals for success in an evolving and diverse accounting profession through education, career awareness, and support services. The Foundation accomplishes its goals by awarding scholarships to Texas students and recognizing outstanding Texas educators.
Your tax deductible contribution provides the funding that supports these opportunities to invest in the future of the accounting profession. This is the time to help ensure that your firm or business has the workforce it needs in the coming years.

Accounting Excellence Award
Awarded since 1969, the Accounting Excellence Award bestows honor to an outstanding accounting student at Texas colleges and universities participating in the programs of the Accounting Education Foundation.
Every recipient has his or her name and year engraved on an individual plate for the permanent Accounting Excellence Award plaque at their school. In addition, an individual recognition plaque is presented to the recipient at the local TXCPA chapter meeting. This ceremony gives the recipient a chance to meet working CPAs in the vicinity and allows these CPAs the opportunity to congratulate and encourage the award winner.
“While facing tuition for my grad school that was almost double that of my undergraduate studies, the Accounting Education Foundation scholarship made such a big difference.”
- Kim Crawford, CPA-Fort Worth and Partner In Charge for the TXCPA annual audit
”Becoming a CPA has been one of the best, most rewarding decisions I ever made, and I can’t thank the past benefactors of the TXCPA Accounting Education Foundation Scholarship enough for the opportunities their scholarship provided me. All I can do is pay it forward, give future CPAs the same helping hand I was given, and encourage others to do the same.”
- Charlotte Jungen, CPA, CFP and Accounting Education Foundation Trustee
