Since its inception, NABA, Inc. (“NABA”) has provided scholarship funds to deserving students preparing to enter various accounting, finance, and business professions.

At the heart of our mission is the commitment to create a more just world where everyone can succeed and thrive. The NABA Foundation channels its efforts into four pivotal areas: education, earnings, entrepreneurship, and enterprise. We believe that fostering economic and educational opportunities is paramount for individual and community well-being.

Through the generous contributions of individuals, groups, and organizations that share NABA’s desire to break through the economic barriers students of color often experience, as NABA’s mission to create a pathway for future Black Business Leaders, NABA offers an average of 150 scholarships annually ranging from $1,000 – $10,000.
