Advancing the Fight Against Fraud 

Since its inception, the ACFE Foundation has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships and research grants. The ACFE is proud to recognize the strides and generous contributions ACFE chapters have made to support the next generation of  anti-fraud professionals. These donations directly support essential programs, such as:   

  • Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship Program: Providing financial assistance to students pursuing careers in fraud examination and related fields.   

  • Research grants: Funding groundbreaking studies on prevention strategies, fraud mechanisms and trends impacting individuals, businesses and government. 

These grants are awarded through the ACFE Research Institute (ARI), a multidisciplinary research center dedicated to research and education on the prevention of fraud, corruption and other white-collar crime. 

The ARI’s goal is to award grants to researchers who will improve the ability of businesses and government to combat fraud, and to educate the public on effective methods for recognizing and deterring it.  


Thank You for Your Support 

Every scholarship awarded and research projected funded begins with support from ACFE members and chapters. Together, these contributions create opportunities for future fraud examiners, advance anti-fraud research and expand access to education that benefits organizations and communities worldwide.  

On behalf of the ACFE Foundation, thank you to everyone who has contributed over the years and helped invest in the future of the anti-fraud profession.
