About This Scholarship

The Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship is a scholarship program offered by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Foundation. The scholarship is named in memory of two of the ACFE’s founders, Dr. Joseph T. Wells and Dr. W. Steve Albrecht. It is designed to support students who are interested in pursuing a career in fraud examination or a related field.

The scholarship selection process takes various factors into consideration, including academic achievements, interest in fraud examination or a related field, leadership qualities, and community involvement.
