Thank you for your interest in a scholarship for the Certified Financial Crime Specialist (CFCS) credential. ACFCS is offering ten (10) complimentary CFCS certification packages to cyber-enabled crime fighters - fincrime professionals who have stepped forward to confront the epidemic of cybercrime and cyber-enabled fraud wrought by the pandemic.

This could include law enforcement agents pursuing romance scammers, fraud officers keeping their customers safe from account takeover, regulators helping financial institutions to adapt to new cyber threats, and others. To be considered, you should be in a role with direct responsibility for detecting and preventing cyber crime, in any form.

Preference will be given to those in the public sector (government and law enforcement) and those new to their career, under five years’ experience.
