About the Financial Crime Academy Scholarship

At the Financial Crime Academy, our community is a reflection of who we were, who we are, and who we hope to be. We are working to drive long-term change that allows diverse perspectives to flourish. This includes creating opportunities for:

  • Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) professionals pursuing a career in financial crime prevention
  • Those with economic conditions that make it challenging to pursue education

Our scholarships are part of our wider diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) commitment - empowering professionals from diverse backgrounds to advance their financial crime prevention careers. Through our scholarships, we aim to advance the personal and professional development of aspiring BIPOC compliance professionals by:

  • creating opportunities for them to acquire globally recognized qualifications
  • helping strengthen their compliance toolkit in understanding emerging topics and trends in anti-financial crime, risk, and compliance
  • providing a platform for peer networking and mentorship

As the most disruptive online education provider for the global financial crime, risk, and compliance community with over 10,000 alumni across 120 jurisdictions, scholarship recipients will join a dynamic global community of like-minded professionals.

Generally, the Financial Crime Academy scholarships include the total cost of the Premium Package of one certificate program of choice. 

If you identify yourself as Black, Indigenous and Persons of Color (BIPOC), or your economic resources do not allow you do pursue education, and currently seek to advance your anti-financial crime, risk, and compliance career, the Financial Crime Academy scholarships are for you.
