Math plays a central role in life. We use math everyday from calculating multimillion dollar business accounts to how much water you need to add into your oatmeal for breakfast. For most, they don’t even realize how often they use it, and for others, it’s a source of income. While a natural talent in math can take you far, there is sometimes a need for accounting scholarships to help make a career out of it. When applying to college, even the most stalwart mathematician can be overwhelmed with the cost of tuition. If the numbers don’t seem to add up, then a scholarship may be the only thing that can help balance the scales.
Women in Transition Scholarship
It was long held that men were naturally better at math than women. That long held belief is now known to be just another stereotype. But just like men, women too sometimes need help making the numbers add up. The Women in Transition Scholarship offered by the Educational Foundation for Women in Accounting can help. This accounting scholarship is offered to women looking to earn a bachelor’s degree in the field of the accounting and are the primary source of income in their home. Those women who are awarded this will receive up to $16,000 over 4 years to put towards making that dream a reality.
