Scholarship

The internal audit program at UTD has developed various scholarships made possible by sponsors from the Annual Fraud Conference and the Super Conference, the largest endowment for an internal audit program worldwide.

These scholarships were specifically established to recognize high-performing students planning to enter the fields of internal audit, IT audit and forensic accounting. The standards for the scholarship have been established with the guidance of the Center for Internal Auditing Advisory Board and the Dallas IIA to recognize those who have been actively pursuing careers in internal audit.

Students must be US Citizens or Permanent Residents to be eligible for the scholarships. Other eligibility requirements can be found in the application below.
