Scholarship

Here's what the 2025 scholarship recipients had to say!

Jen Blasy


"I am truly grateful and honored to have been selected by the ACFE Philadelphia Scholarship and Mentoring Committee, as well as the ACFE Philadelphia Board of Directors, as a recipient of the ACFE CFE Exam Prep Course and participant in the mentoring program. Both have been invaluable and have enabled me to achieve my goal, both personal and professional, of obtaining my CFE license. I am certain that I would not have been able to accomplish this on my own, without the support of the mentoring committee, the other scholarship recipient, as well as the exam prep course. I am thankful for their encouragement, guidance, and holding me accountable for achieving this goal."

"First I am grateful to have been the recipient the the ACFE prep course scholarship. I would like to thank the ACFE Scholarship Committee, the ACFE Philadelphia Board of Directors, my fellow co-recipient and the mentoring committee  for the constant support. Everyone was truly dedicated to help me succeed and was always offering help. Since I come from a primarily law background, I was nervous about the applying for the scholarship and even taking the test, however I am grateful for every person who pushed me to apply.  The scholarship for the ACFE prep course was truly beneficial for my success with the exam. If you are considering applying please do so. The course will truly help you pass the exam coupled with the help of the mentoring committee you will achieve your goal!"
