2022-2023 DEI Scholarships

One way the OSCPA is promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the accounting profession this year is through its CPA Exam Prep Scholarships, sponsored by Deloitte. 

Three $750 scholarships have been awarded to accounting students in Oklahoma who identify as minorities. 

Meet the high-achieving accounting students who are on the path to earning their CPA License with support from the OSCPA's Educational Foundation.

K'China Moore is a master's accounting student at the University of Central Oklahoma. 

"This scholarship is going to help me tremendously. I was not sure how I was going to afford prep material before now. I have always dreamed about becoming an accountant. I decided on my career back in the 3rd grade. This scholarship is going to help me fulfill that dream and I will appreciate this opportunity."

Samantha Munatsirei is a master's accounting student at Oral Roberts University. She has served as a winter intern for Deloitte in the audit and assurance division.

"I want to thank the scholarship committee for awarding me this scholarship. As I continue my graduate studies in preparation for [the CPA Exam], I believe this scholarship is going to help me enter the Exam season with a lot of preparation and confidence next year. I have grown to love accounting as a profession since I began studying it in high school, so as I step out into the field, I believe a CPA license will help set my future career in the right direction. I am very grateful for this opportunity and encouraged by the faith you have put in me."

Jesus Jauregui-Duran is an undergraduate accounting and finance major at Oklahoma State University in Tulsa. 

"Life is a journey with many barriers and obstacles that, in my opinion, become more interesting and exciting as your educational background strengthens through continuous education, field expertise and exposure. The CPA Exam Prep Scholarship will elevate my future in becoming an inspiring role model for all those kids who, like me, perceived having a slim chance at making a big statement in life."
