ACAP stands for the
Accounting Career Awareness Program. The mission of ACAP is to recruit target minority youths
and provide educational enrichment experiences and practical help they need to prepare for higher education and careers in
the field of accounting or business related areas.
This is accomplished with the following objectives:
- Teach students about the skillsets relevant to the field of business.
- Inform students about opportunities in business professions.
- Provide students with minority role models in the business profession.
- Involve Puget Sound area businesses, career guidance counselors and parents in ACAP through contributions and volunteer
time.
- Provide students internships at Puget Sound businesses that will help them get meaningful job experience.
Most of ACAP's efforts are focused on our Summer Residency Program. This is a one-week program for qualified Sophomores,
Juniors or Seniors in high school. This motivational and educational program is held each year at the University of
Washington School of Business. It introduces the students to accounting, finance, economics and management through a
customized curriculum involving UW faculty and guest lecturers from the business community. Students selected for the
residency week receive scholarships covering the total cost of tuition, room and board, books, supplies, entertainment, and
transportation. This program has been held annually since 1982.
