Case Competition Awards
As part of its mandate to promote excellence in business and accounting education within local universities, the CPA Nova Scotia Education Foundation provides cash prizes to students participating in business program case competitions.
Case competitions allow students to apply their classroom learning with hands-on experience by solving real-world challenges. Teams are provided with a written case and are then tasked with providing a solution which will be presented to a panel of judges. Winners will be chosen based on varying criteria. The prizes are a wonderful incentive for students to bring their best effort to the competition and a great way to support their academic studies.
A total cash prize of $2500 is available to each of the following universities annually:
- Acadia University
- Cape Breton University
- Dalhousie University
- Mount Saint Vincent University
