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.

** All students who submit a valid, completed scholarship application will be offered sponsorship to the 2024 National Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 17-21.  If awarded a scholarship, students are expected to attend the 2024 National Convention & Expo to receive the scholarship in person. Additionally, students sponsored by NABA, Inc. are required to attend all NABA-related programming as noted.**
