CPAs present grants to West Hartford universities

Representatives of the Educational Trust Fund of the Connecticut Society of Certified Public Accountants (CTCPA) recently presented grants to the accounting departments and student organizations at the University of Hartford and the University of Saint Joseph.  These awards were given during an annual joint dinner meeting of the CTCPA Educational Trust Fund and the CTCPA Student Outreach and Career Awareness Committee held recently at Cascade in Hamden.

 

The Educational Trust Fund exists to help tomorrow's CPAs today. It does so by providing financial support directly to students, accounting departments, and accounting clubs at Connecticut colleges and universities recognized by the Connecticut State Board of Accountancy.

 

The Connecticut Society of CPAs is celebrating more than 100 years of service to membership and community alike.  CTCPA has a membership of almost 6,000 individuals in public practice, business and industry, government, and education.  Its function is to advocate on behalf of the accounting profession, foster a professional community among CPAs, and provide continuing education opportunities as well as a comprehensive peer review program and a variety of membership services for CPAs in Connecticut.
