Waltham students earn MassCPAs scholarships

Two Waltham students have been awarded scholarships through the Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants Educational Foundation’s 2026 Scholarship Program.

Kyle Boulos of Babson College and Reshma Panjwani of Bentley University each received a MassCPAs Silver Alliance Scholarship, the organization announced. They were among 50 students recognized May 13 at Connect 2026, the group’s annual networking event.

Boulos, a rising junior at Babson, previously received a City of Waltham Scholarship when he graduated from Waltham High School in 2024. Panjwani is earning an MBA at Bentley’s McCallum Graduate School of Business.

“It’s truly inspiring to see the talent and drive of this year’s scholarship winners,” said Zach Donah, president and CEO of MassCPAs. “Their commitment to excellence gives us great confidence that the accounting profession in Massachusetts will continue to thrive under their leadership.”

The scholarships are funded entirely through donations to the MassCPAs Educational Foundation, which supports students pursuing accounting careers. Since its inception in 2006, the foundation has awarded 500 scholarships totaling more than $2.25 million, with individual awards ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.

Eligible recipients include undergraduate and graduate accounting students studying in Massachusetts or Massachusetts residents attending school out of state. Funds can be used for tuition, books and other academic or career-related expenses.

The Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants represents more than 11,500 members across public accounting, industry, government and education.
