The ACFE Foundation supports the education of collegiate accounting, business, finance and criminal justice students worldwide through the Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship Program. National and international students are eligible to apply and four different scholarship amounts are awarded: one $10,000 scholarship, two $5,000 scholarships, four $2,500 scholarships and twenty-three $1,000 scholarships. The Ritchie-Jennings Memorial scholarships are awarded in U.S. dollars and include a one-year ACFE Student Associate membership. Scholarships will be paid directly to a student’s university.

 

Students who are interested in obtaining a recommendation from the Chapter are asked to email a completed ACFE application (available from the ACFE website) for consideration to Cheryl Hyder at Cheryl.Hyder@acfedc.org, prior to December 2, 2011 to be considered for the 2012-2013 Scholarship cycle.  Applications received after that date will NOT be considered.  All applications received will be evaluated for potential recommendations; students whose applications meet the designated criteria (found on the ACFE website) will be contacted to schedule an interview.   The completed scholarship application along with the applicant's transcript and THREE letters of recommendation (one from a CFE or Chapter) must be submitted to ACFE no later than February 3, 2012; as a result we need to complete our review cycle by January 24, 2012 to allow committee members to meet and letters to be written.
