The Mary M. Fraijo Scholarships
 for Accounting, Business, & Finance Majors

LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS (The Mary. M. Fraijo Scholarships):

The local scholarships are awarded by the Spokane Chapter of the Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance.  Local scholarships are awarded to students with a primary residence in the Spokane Area, Inland Northwest (Washington and Idaho). Our local chapter will be awarding two types of scholarships for the upcoming academic year. These scholarships are designed to assist either women or men in accounting. We are non discriminatory. The criteria for these accounting scholarships is based on the following:

• Students enrolling in a four year college who:
  • Shall be either a part-time or full-time student pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in accounting, finance, economics or an equivalent designated post-baccalaureate Certificate of Accounting;
  • Shall have completed a minimum of 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours with a declared accounting, finance, or economics major;
• Students enrolled in a formal two year accounting program through a community college, a junior college or an accredited trade school.
  • These students must have completed the first year of the accounting program.
• Shall be attending an accredited college, university or professional school of accounting; and
• Need not be a member of the Accounting & Financial Women's Alliance.
