Minority high school students from Ohio may apply through April 3 to participate in the nationally recognized Accounting Careers Awareness Program (ACAP-Ohio) June 21 – 26 in Columbus.

Held at The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, this week-long, all-expense paid campus residency program encourages students to pursue a college education by introducing them to a variety of career options.

The week’s agenda includes interactive workshops, tours of local businesses, and one-on-one mentoring sessions with leading minority business professionals. Students chosen for the program also can compete for college scholarships.

ACAP-Ohio, now in its 14^th year, is presented by The Ohio Society of CPAs and the Ohio chapters of the National Association of Black Accountants with funding from The Ohio CPA Foundation. The innovative program gives students a chance to explore the accounting profession and learn firsthand what opportunities await them if they choose to become a CPA and enter the business world after college.

ACAP-Ohio is a fully supervised, all-expense-paid program made possible through the support of corporate sponsorships and grants. Students interested in applying must submit an application, a 200-word essay and one letter of reference. Applications can be completed online at www.FutureCPA.com and must be submitted by April 3.
