Description

The Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship provides an opportunity for students to advance their education and anti-fraud career paths. The scholarship program was established in 1992 to provide opportunities for students who had demonstrated achievement in fraud-related studies. Additionally, it supports their anti-fraud interests by providing a full year of ACFE membership. Interested students must demonstrate a desire to pursue a career in fraud examination or similar anti-fraud profession. They must have a declared major or minor in accounting, business administration, finance, criminal justice or similar fraud-related discipline. Students must be currently enrolled at an accredited, four-year college or university and be enrolled through the 2026-2027 academic year. Undergraduates must be enrolled in 9 semester hours (or equivalent) per term and must be a junior, senior, or at least in the second half of their sophomore year when applying. Graduate students must be enrolled in 6 semester hours (or equivalent) per term. Applicants must submit two recommendations from individuals who know the applicant on a professional level (employers, colleagues, professors, etc.).
