OSCPA grants scholarships at minority accounting program

The scholarship recipients were among 43 selected to attend the nationally recognized event held for six days at The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business. Started in 1996 by a group of accountants, ACAP-Ohio gathers the top minority students from around the state and connects them with successful minority professionals who mentor them on college and career choices while they learn about the business world and compete for college scholarships.
