Yasuko Mitsuyasu MAcc Scholarship 2027

Deadline December 1, 2026 (2027-2028 Pauahi postsecondary cycle) 70 days left · Hosted by Pauahi Foundation (Yasuko Mitsuyasu Master of Accounting Scholarship) · Published

The Yasuko Mitsuyasu Master of Accounting Scholarship helps full-time graduate students complete a Master of Accounting (MAcc) program on the Pauahi Foundation postsecondary portal. Pauahi lists the fund for U.S. residents pursuing accounting at the graduate level, with community service or extracurricular activities documented in your profile and essays. BigFuture and Pauahi classify the award as not need-based, so your academic progress and CPA-path narrative carry weight alongside standard portal materials. Pauahi gives preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry where permitted by law. Select this scholarship when the 2027-2028 application opens October 1, 2026 and closes December 1, 2026.

What is the Yasuko Mitsuyasu Master of Accounting Scholarship?

The Yasuko Mitsuyasu Master of Accounting Scholarship targets graduate students who are already committed to the MAcc path, often with CPA licensure in sight. Pauahi Foundation administers the award on the same postsecondary portal as hundreds of other funds, but the major gate is strict. If your transcript says MBA, taxation, or general business rather than a Master of Accounting program, reviewers will move your file to a different fund.

Full-time enrollment and documented service still matter. Accounting clubs, VITA tax clinics, and internship hours give you concrete examples for the personal statement, especially because the listing is not need-based on its own. Pauahi applies its Hawaiian ancestry preference where the law allows, and award sizes follow endowed fund income rather than a published stipend.

Open the portal October 1, 2026, select the Mitsuyasu fund, and submit before December 1, 2026 if you want 2027-2028 support toward your MAcc coursework.
