Bolger, a student at Elon University, received the PwC Scholarship and Massih, a student at Bentley University, was awarded the CBIZ Scholarship. They were among 50 students who were recognized at MassCPAs’ annual, member-wide networking event, Connect 2026, on May 13.

“It’s truly inspiring to see the talent and drive of this year’s scholarship winners,” said Zach Donah, president and CEO of MassCPAs. “Their commitment to excellence gives us great confidence that the accounting profession in Massachusetts will continue to thrive under their leadership. We are honored to play a role in their success and extend our deepest gratitude to the donors and volunteers who make this investment in our future possible.”

Scholarships are funded entirely through donations to the MassCPAs Educational Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and supporting the next generation of CPAs in Massachusetts. Since the program’s inception in 2006, the foundation has awarded 500 scholarships to aspiring CPAs, ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 and totaling more than $2.25 million.

MassCPAs scholarships are available for both undergraduate and graduate accounting students who are attending a college or university in Massachusetts or attending a college or university out-of-state with a permanent residence in Massachusetts.
