IMA Student Scholarship Program Details

Who is the scholarship for?

For IMA-endorsed Schools: 10 students per academic year can be nominated for an IMA Student Scholarship. Students can select which exam they prefer to take for the scholarship: the CMA^® (Certified Management Accountant) or the FMAA™ (Financial and Managerial Accounting Associate).
For IMA Partner Schools*, three students per academic year can be nominated for an IMA Student Scholarship. Again, students can select which exam they prefer to take for the scholarship: the CMA or the FMAA.
All students who are nominated by a professor and meet the eligibility requirements will earn a scholarship.

*IMA Partner Schools must meet certain eligibility criteria. For example, having an active IMA student chapter on campus; integrating IMA content into their course curriculum; sending students to the IMA Student Leadership Conference; and inviting IMA to present to students on a regular basis.
