Taking it to the Net

There is a student publication put out by the IMA at least 3 times a year to help students gain information about employment, salaries, education requirements. The Diversity Scholarship is designed to help support minorities and people with disabilities.

There are student chapters of the IMA that help students practice their leadership skills and also give them further exposure to real world accounting. The winners present their solutions in front of live judges and the winning team receives cash prizes.

The IMA also sponsors a student case competition in which teams of students create a video presentation that proposes a solution to a case study.

Scholarships are given out by the IMA to students who excel in graduate programs. Two types of scholarships available from the IMA are the Diversity Scholarship Program and the IMA Memorial Education Fund Scholarship. In addition to the publication, the IMA also has a student web site. The publication also makes students aware of the programs the IMA sponsors for students.

The IMA has recently added a student committee to its Board of Directors which will present student concerns and issues to the board.
