Program supports Business, Economics and STEM students in the United States and United Kingdom

BOSTON, MA (March 18, 2025) – Global consulting firm Charles River Associates (CRA) today announced the opening of the third cycle of the CRA All-Access Scholarship, an annual talent development pipeline program that supports twelve students pursuing degrees in Business, Economics or STEM with $5,000 awards.

Originally launched in the United States in 2023 as a program of the company’s All-Access Initiative, the All-Access Scholarship has since expanded to the United Kingdom and awarded scholarships to student members of CRA’s partner, Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO London). To be eligible, an applicant must be attending an accredited university as a full-time college sophomore/penultimate year student and majoring in Business, Economics or STEM with an overall GPA of 3.5. (US) or 2.1 (UK). Ideal candidates demonstrate academic achievement, leadership, community service, and financial need.

“The All-Access Initiative and Scholarship reaffirm CRA’s commitment to increasing access to business, economics, and STEM for high-achieving students from all backgrounds who have demonstrated academic excellence, leadership, community service, and financial need,” said Raquel Tamez, CRA’s Chief Inclusion & Engagement Officer. “We want to support these students in persisting with their studies and achieving their academic goals. I encourage all eligible applicants to apply and take advantage of this opportunity to further their education and future careers.”

The 2025-26 CRA All-Access Scholarship application deadline is April 25, 2025. For more information and to begin the application process, interested students should visit crai.com/cra-all-access-scholarship.
