Member Benefits


Being a Student Member of the ASCPA means full-access to exclusive discounts and opportunities from our Society. We've gone a step further to get you discounts from the nation's best CPA exam programs, too!

Bean Counter Buzz


Each quarter ASCPA sends a student-specific newsletter called the Bean Counter Buzz. Within this newsletter you will find a blend of insights for success, tips on navigating your path, and ways to connect and engage with the Society and potential employers.

AICPA and NASBA ELE Program


The AICPA and NASBA launched an integrated education and experience (ELE) program for students who need or want a path to the 150 credit hours of education required for CPA licensure, that allows them to earn up to 30 educational credit hours while they are in a paid accounting position. The ELE combines meaningful online academic coursework integrated with work experience.

CPACredits.com


For those looking for an affordable and convenient way to earn the remaining credits to meet the 150 credit hour requirement, try CPACredits.com. They offer a free transcript evaluation service, which will allow you to determine what courses you still need to meet the Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy requirements. CPACredits advisors will meet with you to provide suggestions and guidance.
