In October of 2020, AACFB announced its new scholarship program open to high school seniors and students attending a trade or technical school in addition to those attending a two or four-year institution of higher learning.

Since then, thousands of scholarship dollars have been awarded to deserving young students across the country. In 2025, AACFB will once again be awarding scholarships, with $3,500 going to the first-place winner and $1,500 going to the runner-up.

AACFB is also pleased to announce that the AACFB scholarship will now be known as the Rosanne Wilson Memorial Scholarship, in honor of former AACFB Treasurer, Membership Committee Chair, and long-time supporter of NAELB/AACFB.

Rosanne passed away in 2022 after a long illness, but her impact on the association and all who knew her continues on. She was a constant presence at conferences and mentored countless aspiring finance brokers, reflecting her deep commitment to education. This scholarship will stand as a tribute to her remarkable service to the association and the commercial finance industry.

Applications will be accepted until December 15, 2024.

To apply, students must be recommended by an active member of the AACFB. The student must complete the scholarship application and provide an essay demonstrating need and the ability to complete the course of study chosen as well as supply two letters of recommendation.

The winners will be announced by March 1, 2025. More information is available at www.aacfb.org.
