The National Association of Enrolled Agents and the NAEA Education Foundation (EF) award scholarships to both aspiring and current enrolled agents. The scholarship program is generously funded by Quickfinder, with additional support by Paychex, Gleim Publications and The Tax Book. NAEA members also show their support of their chosen profession and offer a helping hand to the next generation through generous donations to the Education Foundation.

In 2010-2011, scholarships are being offered for five tracks at the National Conference, including the National Tax Practice Institute (NTPI) Levels 1, 2 and 3, the Graduate track in Representation and the Tax Prep Issues/Practice Management track. To be considered for a scholarship, applications must arrive at the NAEA office no later than 5:00 pm on Friday, May 28, 2010.

The NAEA-EF also awards scholarships for the Special Enrollment Examination (SEE) courses offered through NAEA and its state affiliates. NAEA offers a facilitated online prep course as well as an in-person review course at the National Conference. Consideration will be given to applicants who have experience in taxation or accounting. To be considered for an NAEA or state affiliate SEE preparation scholarship, applications must be received two months prior to the seminar start. All scholarship requests for the SEE must be on the SEE Scholarship Application form.

When applying for a scholarship—whether for the National Conference or the SEE—please read the instructions carefully and return the completed application to NAEA on time. NAEA’s scholarships are very competitive. Neatness, grammar and content count! Only complete applications will be considered.

To support the profession and give back to other enrolled agents, please use the NAEA contribution form in the related links box.
