University scholarship program – Graduate level – PEP
Scholarships of $1,500
Only those students who are registered in the Professional Education Program (PEP) or who are in their third year of the undergraduate accounting program are eligible for these scholarships. Because the selection process is based on academic achievement, students do not need to send an application to the Foundation. This scholarship program calls for close cooperation between the universities and the Foundation, since university representatives are the ones who give the Foundation the names and contact information of the students with the highest cumulative GPA in the PEP or undergraduate program. Undergraduate students are eligible for the scholarship when they register in the Ordre’s Professional Education Program.
