“There are many reasons why paying for college can be a challenge. Fostering opportunities for students who may not otherwise have access to college ensures the profession is accessible to individuals from all backgrounds and cultivates a diverse and talented pool of future accountants. Contributing to the CalCPA scholarship fund is how I support making those opportunities available.”

―Erin Roche, San Francisco Chapter, BPM LLP

"I have been fortunate to have received a lot of support throughout my career, and CalCPA has played a significant role in that journey. It’s with gratitude that Sandy and I contribute to the CalCPA Institute scholarship fund to help a student achieve their dreams of earning a college degree and pursuing a career. Through this financial commitment, we help create opportunities for aspiring accounting professionals who will become the future leaders of CalCPA.”

―Charlie Osaki, Los Angeles Chapter, Cerritos College Professor

“I give to the CalCPA Institute because my CPA license has given me a life I never dreamed possible as a student. The CPA license has given me an intellectually stimulating career and compensation limited only to my ambition. I want to do my part to help others understand the incredible opportunities that the CPA license provides. I give to CalCPA Institute as a thank you to the Institute. Earlier in my career I was selected to attend the Leadership institute that was underwritten by CalCPA Institute. The knowledge I gained there helped me be a better CPA and improve my business substantially. I want to give that opportunity to others.”

―Charlotte Wall, San Francisco Chapter, Spott Lucey & Wall Inc. CPAs

“I give because we have to support our pipeline for this profession we all love and care deeply about. I remember how helpful it was to get accounting scholarships when I was in college, and sending hand written thank you notes to my donor supporters. It’s my turn to open up our world to others.”
