The selection committee will review and evaluate each applicant based on achievements, education potential, financial need, and “x factor” (may include results from interview, income level, disability, family situation, volunteer work, etc.).

Only one scholarship per applicant will be awarded. Applicants cannot be a current student of The American College of Financial Services or have already earned a degree or designation from The College.
