Scholarships
The National Association of Enrolled Agents 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 2012-13, NAEA scholarships are offered for the following programs:
- SEE Scholarship Application
- National Conference & National Tax Practice Institute Scholarship Application
The NAEA Education Foundation awards scholarships for the National Conference and the Special Enrollment Exam 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.
All 2012 scholarship applications for National Conference (August, Las Vegas) and NTPI Level 1 & 2 in November (Washington, DC) will be considered concurrently therefore all applications for these programs are due at the NAEA office by 5:00 pm ET on Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Late applications will not be considered.
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 below.

About the NAEA Education Foundation
The NAEA Education Foundation (NAEA-EF), established in 1972, is dedicated to helping aspiring enrolled agents reach their goal by providing scholarships to prepare for the Special Enrollment Examination. Beyond that, we have a mission to assist enrolled agents and other Circular 230 licensed tax practitioners maintain their high quality professional standing. That is why our scholarship applications are peer reviewed and awarded to those who attend NAEA's premiere national continuing education (CE) program - the National Tax Practice Institute™ (NTPI™).
The NAEA-EF works collaboratively with NAEA in order to offer scholarships making it more convenient for independent practitioners to take the CE credits required by the IRS and maintain the license governed by Circular 230.
