AFCPE, with the support of generous donors, sponsors, and partners, is committed to breaking down barriers to access and expanding impact across the field. One way we do that is by providing scholarships – for certification and education.
Since 2020, the AFCPE Strategic Impact Fund has:
- Provided more than $350,000 in scholarships to capacity building groups and organizations, as well as individuals. Scholarships covered the cost of AFC certification and/or Essentials training, increasing consumer access to high quality financial counseling and education specifically within underserved communities.
- Provided over $120,000 in Symposium scholarships providing access to educational knowledge, networking, and growth.

Symposium Scholarship Recipient
Receiving a scholarship to attend the 2024 AFCPE Symposium provided the space to build valuable relationships and continue to hone my skills so that I can serve more effectively. I will definitely pay it forward!
Symposium Scholarship Recipient
Receiving a scholarship to attend the AFCPE Symposium in 2024 was such a gift to me professionally. As a financial coach starting my new private practice, I would not have been able to attend otherwise due to the costs.
Symposium Scholarship Recipient
Attending the 2024 AFCPE Symposium as a scholarship recipient was an incredibly valuable experience. As a financial coach who works with families raising children with disabilities, it was encouraging to connect with professionals committed to making financial guidance more accessible and inclusive.
Symposium Scholarship Recipient
AFCPE reached out to DALS Credit Solutions Co. with a Symposium Scholarship opportunity. That opened a door I didn’t know existed. If you are in the field or exploring it, I highly encourage you to register. You won’t just attend a conference—you’ll join a movement.
