Scholarships

Scholarships available to accounting students in the School of Accountancy (SOA) come from a wide variety of sources: some are awarded by Brigham Young University (BYU), some by the Marriott School of Management (MSM), and a limited number from the SOA. The amount and source of these scholarships vary according to the position of the applicant in the SOA programs.

First-Year Integrated MAcc Students

The MAcc program is an integrated program where the senior year overlaps with the first year of graduate study. The University allows integrated students to continue to pay undergraduate tuition until the last two semesters when they become a graduate student and pay Marriott School graduate tuition. This reduced tuition is a significant financial benefit to students. However, the disadvantage to this approach is that first-year MAcc students do not qualify for graduate student scholarships until they start paying graduate tuition. Below are the scholarships that first-year students can apply for:

• BYU. BYU awards a full range of undergraduate scholarships based upon need and academic achievement. Most first-year students qualify for these scholarships because for tuition purposes they are still considered to be undergraduate students.
  
• MSM. The Marriott School awards a limited number of scholarships to first-year MAcc students based on need and academic achievement.
  
• SOA. The SOA awards scholarships to first-year MAcc students based on academic performance in the Accounting Jr. Core. These scholarships are based on nominations by the faculty and not on student applications. The SOA has a limited amount of scholarship money available for first-year MAcc students based on need.
  

Second-Year Integrated MAcc Students

For the last two semesters (or one semester and two terms) of the MAcc program, students are graduate students (called a “paygrad”) and pay Marriott School graduate tuition. Students must be attending school full time for the two semesters they have graduate status. Students who obtain a BS in accounting before entering the MAcc program are graduate students and pay full graduate tuition throughout the MAcc program. Students who are graduate students qualify for the following scholarships:

• BYU. BYU does not award scholarships to graduate students. Graduate scholarships are only awarded by the SOA and the Marriott School.
  
• MSM. The Marriott School awards a limited number of scholarships to graduate students based on need and academic achievement.
  
• SOA. The SOA has a limited amount of scholarship money available for students paying Marriott School graduate tuition, based on academic performance and need.
  

International Students and Students from Diverse Backgrounds

A limited number of scholarships are awarded to international students, students from underrepresented backgrounds, single parents, and female students to encourage and make possible their participation in the programs of the Marriott School.

• BYU. BYU awards scholarships to undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds who otherwise would not be able to study at BYU. However, BYU does not offer scholarships to graduate students. Graduate scholarships are only awarded by the Marriott School and the SOA.
• MSM. The Marriott School offers scholarship money to students of diverse backgrounds.
• SOA. The SOA has a limited amount of scholarship money available for students from diverse backgrounds who otherwise would not be able to study in the SOA.

Two of the more notable scholarships offered through the MSM to students from different backgrounds are the following:

• Extended Reach Scholarship (for underrepresented students): http://marriottschool.byu.edu/diversity/financialaid.cfm
