10 CPA Exam Fee Lottery Winners Selected

The NJCPA selected 10 winners at random to receive $750 each towards the cost of taking the CPA Exam. The CPA Exam Fee Lottery winners were chosen out of a pool of nearly 70 applicants; Student and CPA Candidate members of the NJCPA were eligible to enter.

Applicants have to take the CPA Exam between Dec. 1, 2022, and Nov. 30, 2023, and they must be currently enrolled in an New Jersey college or university or graduated within the past five years.

The Lottery helps NJCPA members offset the cost of taking the CPA Exam, which can run upwards of $2,500 when factoring in the test and exam prep. The awards are distributed from the NJCPA Scholarship Fund, which has given out more than $7 million since the Fund was created in the 1960s.

“We are pleased to grant these funds to those looking to further their career in accounting or those who may be just starting out. Not everyone has the resources to fulfill these aspirations,” said Ralph Albert Thomas, CPA (DC), CGMA, CEO and Executive Director of the NJCPA.
