MSF Overview

Established in 2015, the Moynihan Scholarship Fund (MSF) honors the memory of NYCPA Past President David J. Moynihan (1955-2015), a staunch advocate for educational opportunities. The Moynihan Scholarship Fund is an affiliate of the NYCPA, which supports and administers the NYCPA's student and pipeline programs: 

MSF Priorities

  • Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) throughout the profession – MSF is committed to advancing young, aspiring accounting professionals, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability status or any other aspect of diversity. 
  • Furnishing accounting education and outreach – With the mission of addressing the racial gap in the CPA profession, Career Opportunities in the Accounting Profession (COAP) is an immersive and interactive program, focused on exposing underrepresented groups to the CPA profession and the myriad possibilities it offers.  
  • Providing scholarships – By financially assisting top-notch accounting students, as well as offering them professional support and mentoring, we can help ensure that the pipeline of future accountants is robust. Your donations make the important work of MSF possible. 
  • Supporting financial literacy – Expanding financial literacy in students is crucial in supporting their success as they grow into adults navigating the real world.
