Latest Round of Winners Announced for IIA and AuditBoard’s Elevate Internal Audit Scholarship Program

The Institute of Internal Auditors and AuditBoard have announced the latest round of winners of the Elevate Internal Audit Scholarship Program. 

The Elevate program was launched by AuditBoard and The IIA in 2020 to provide scholarships to internal auditors who had been affected by layoffs and other financial hardship due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the program was expanded to support internal auditors’ continuing education and career development with merit-based scholarships providing training and certification for all three parts of the CIA® exam.

Scholarship recipients are empowered to receive the training and testing necessary to achieve the CIA®, the only internationally recognized certification for internal auditing. 

“Obtaining the CIA gives me the opportunity to build the career I want by developing my auditing practices, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities,” said scholarship recipient Robert Halpert, Senior Manager of Internal Audit at DoubleVerify.

Internal auditors from the United States and Canada interested in completing the CIA® study program and examinations within a one-year window are encouraged to apply. Up to 15 scholarships will be awarded twice a year. Each scholarship is valued at more than $2,000 USD.
