National Association of Black Accountants

NABA sponsors several key programs and services designed to address the needs of students majoring in the fields of accounting, finance, or business administration. If you are a student interested in obtaining the grooming necessary to begin a successful career in business, obtaining competencies that are not taught in the classroom such as Business Etiquette, Networking, and Money Management, then NABA can equip you with these and more.

NABA Student Scholarships

One of the benefits that NABA affords its student members is the opportunity to apply for scholarships on the local, regional, and national level. The competition was extremely competitive. Each application was carefully reviewed by a committee of professional members and nine students were selected to receive scholarships for the 2007-2008 academic year.
