LEAP First in Family Scholarship in Accounting and Finance

The LEAP First in Family Scholarship in Accounting and Finance was established in 2020 and is funded by an anonymous donor. The main purpose of the Scholarship is to assist students enrolling in the first year of a Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Commerce conjoint degree in Accounting and Finance, who are the first member of their immediate family to attend university and who, because of financial hardship, may not otherwise be able to undertake a university degree. The scholarship provides financial support of up to $8,000 per annum for up to three years to help New Zealand citizens or permanent residents who are first in their family to attend university pursue their undergraduate studies in accounting and finance at the University of Auckland.
