| STUDENT MEMBERSHIP
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's programs and services
include the following: 
The National Scholarship
Program is administered at the national and local
level. These competitive scholarships are awarded to
deserving and successful college students to assist
in furthering their education. Over $2.6 million has
been awarded since inception.
Regional Student Conferences
are held annually in each of four regions. They focus
on career development and placement, as well as preparation
for entry into the accounting profession. At the conferences,
students can interview for internships and permanent
positions.
ACHIEVE student
newsletter is dedicated to keeping you up-to-date with
information on the business world, updates on NABA activities,
and articles written to motivate growth and development
in the reader. The newsletter is published three times
a year.
The Accounting Career
Awareness Program (ACAP) is a one-week residency
program for high school students interested in a career
in business. Held at a local college or university,
the program introduces students to accounting, finance,
economics and management through a focused, undergraduate-level
program taught by college faculty and guest lecturers
from business and government.
NABA also sponsors the
Annual National Convention during which both professionals
and students interact with representatives from organizations
interested in hiring. At the convention, forums are
held to discuss major issues of the African American
community and many social activities are planned to
make sure you have a chance to express yourself. Note:
Professional members who return to school are not eligible
for student membership.
