Scholarship Challenge Returns

Last year, the Scholarship Fundraising Challenge for Chapters raised more than $20,000 for future anti-fraud professionals. Participating chapters also received some great prizes to share with their members.

In 2015, we will look to surpass last year’s totals with the return of the challenge.

How does the challenge work?

There will be prize packages awarded to chapters for meeting levels of donations:

• Bronze - donations more than USD 1000 – prize package of assorted books and merchandise
• Silver - donations more than USD 2500 – prize package of assorted books and merchandise, including two copies of the CFE Exam Prep Course
• Gold - donations more than USD 5000 – prize package of assorted books and merchandise, including four copies of the CFE Exam Prep Course
• Platinum - donations more than USD 7500 – prize package of assorted books and merchandise including four copies of the CFE Exam Prep Course and two registrations to a 2016 ACFE fraud conference (choose from Asia-Pacific Fraud Conference, European Fraud Conference, Global Fraud Conference or a CFE Exam Review Course)

The chapter can collect donations when members renew or register for events, or raffle off prizes during a seminar or networking function.

All chapters who participate will receive recognition on ACFE.com and on social media.

The deadline to submit your chapter’s donation is December 15, 2015. Please send your check, payable to the ACFE Foundation, to:
