Chapter Scholarship Challenge Returns in 2017

Last year, the Scholarship Fundraising Challenge for ACFE chapters broke previous records and raised more than $28,000 for future anti-fraud professionals. Participating chapters also received some great prizes to share with their members.

In 2017, we will look to surpass last year’s totals with the return of the challenge. We are already off to a great start! So far, we have received $7,000 from the Dallas Area Chapter, $5,000 from the Greater Chicago Area Chapter, along with additional donations from the Big Sky and Pacific Northwest Chapters.
