Gainesville, Fl., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gleim Exam Prep, the family-owned leader in accounting exam prep, today announced the Dr. Irvin N. Gleim Scholarship, a new addition to its scholarship program, which already provides exam prep scholarships valued at more than $2 million to deserving candidates each year. The new annual scholarship is open to students pursuing CPA, CMA, CIA, or EA certification. The announcement comes on International Accounting Day, and just days after Gleim Day on November 6, when Gainesville honors the life and work of Dr. Gleim.
Dr. Gleim, a longtime accounting professor at the University of Florida, published the world's first self-study CPA review in 1974 to give more candidates an accessible, affordable path to certification. Created in his honor, the new scholarship carries that mission forward, as it is designed as a means for professors to help support their students in reaching their career goals by awarding Gleim review courses to students with the drive to earn a professional credential.
"On International Accounting Day, we're proud to continue investing in the next generation of accountants," said Lorie M. Gleim, CEO of Gleim Exam Prep. "Dr. Gleim was passionate about supporting all those with the desire to enter the profession and dedicated his life to providing opportunities to deserving candidates. This scholarship is just an extension of our ongoing commitment to elevate the profession.”
Gleim provides scholarships through multiple industry partners such as the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants (FICPA), and other State Societies. The Dr. Irvin N. Gleim Scholarship adds a new avenue for professors to nominate students, and that allows students to apply directly to Gleim for a scholarship. Applications open February 1, 2027.
