The GAEA Educational Foundation

The foundation was formed in 2006 to provide tax education scholarships to Circular 230-regulated tax professionals who wish to attend the National Tax Practice Institute (NTPI) and to unlicensed tax preparers who wish to study for the IRS Special Enrollment Examination (SEE) to become Enrolled Agents.

The foundation has awarded scholarship totaling over $100,000 since its founding.  Scholarship applications are accepted during the spring of each year, and scholarships are awarded by the foundation board each May at the annual GAEA education workshop and convention.  The scholarship is open to all Circular 230 practitioners, as well as experienced tax preparers (minimum of 2 years of Tax Prep experience) who wish to study for the exam to become an Enrolled Agent. 

The deadline to submit a 2023 scholarship application is Monday May 08, 2023.

Special Enrollment Exam (SEE) Scholarships

The SEE scholarship is awarded in three parts - one portion for each of the three parts of the exam.

Each part will cover the cost of the recipient's chosen study guide for that exam part as well as the exam fee charged by Prometric to actually take the exam at a local testing center.

The exam fee currently is $203.00.  The cost of study guides varies depending upon which tax education publisher's guides are chosen.
