ACI FMA Scholarship Program
Explore the ACI FMA Scholarship Program and Unlock New Opportunities.
We are proud to announce the ACI FMA Scholarship Program as an annual, targeted and fully funded initiative designed to add tangible value for the members of our Affiliated Associations by strengthening professional capacity of our members and underscoring ACI FMA’s continuous commitment to lead in education and drive member‑value creation.
The Program supports training and examinations, removes financial barriers to professional qualification, and advances ACI FMA’s core objectives of raising technical standards, promoting ethical conduct and expanding membership engagement across the regions covered by our Affiliated Associations. Directly aligned with ACI FMA’s statutory purpose to uphold professional and ethical standards, the Program engages Accredited Trainers, waives examination fees where applicable, and integrates scholarship recipients into ACI FMA learning communities and regional forums to foster peer exchange and sustained market development. Each annual cycle will be designed by ACI FMA Education and approved by our Board of Education, with the Terms and Conditions tailored to the cycle’s strategic priorities.
The ACI FMA Scholarship Program Cycle for 2026/2027 is dedicated exclusively to women and focused on Africa, honoring the region and the ACI 2026 World Congress in Ghana; this Cycle provides fully funded accredited training and examination support for the ACI Diploma Exam (including the ACICMP® trademark certification) and is designed to build local capacity and professional networks across the continent. Each Affiliated Association in Africa will be awarded one scholarship, with nominees needing to demonstrate strong professional commitment to financial markets, high ethical standards, strong leadership potential, and personal qualities such as intellectual curiosity and boldness, together with the drive to apply new knowledge for tangible market improvements.
We extend our sincere thanks to Peter Skerritt & Associates (PTY) Ltd, as the exclusive Accredited Trainer supporting the ACI FMA Scholarship Program Cycle for 2026/2027, and to the Board of Education members and ACI FMA Education Team whose dedication and collaboration have made the ACI FMA Scholarship Program Cycle for 2026/2027 a milestone for education, capacity building and inclusive growth across African markets. Your partnership and support have enabled the Program to remove financial barriers through training and waived examination fees, reinforcing ACI FMA’s commitment to high professional and ethical standards and creating meaningful members value.
All the best,
ACI FMA
