About the NAEA Education Foundation

The NAEA Education Foundation (NAEA-EF), established in 1972, is dedicated to helping aspiring Enrolled Agents reach their goal by providing scholarships to prepare for the Special Enrollment Examination. Beyond that, we have a mission to assist Enrolled Agents and other Circular 230 licensed tax practitioners maintain their high quality professional standing. That is why our scholarship applications are peer reviewed and awarded to those who attend NAEA’s premiere national continuing professional education (CPE) program - the National Tax Practice Institute™ (NTPI™).

The NAEA-EF works collaboratively with NAEA in order to offer scholarships making it more convenient for independent practitioners to take the CPE credits required by the IRS and maintain the license governed by Circular 230.

Both NAEA and NAEA-EF are recognized and approved by the Internal Revenue Service's Director of Practice as qualified sponsors of continuing professional education (CPE) programs.
