AFCPE Honored with ASAE Summit Award for Military Spouse Fellowship
The Association of Financial Counseling, Planning, and Education (AFCPE) has received the 2026 Power of Associations Summit Award from the American Society of Association Executives. The award recognizes AFCPE's work through the FINRA Foundation Military Spouse Fellowship program, which supports military spouses by providing a pathway to financial counseling certification. The fellowship addresses challenges such as frequent relocations and underemployment faced by military spouses. It offers full funding for education, exams, and experience hours required for the Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC) credential. Since 2006, over 743 Fellows have earned this certification, impacting more than 288,000 military families. ASAE praised AFCPE's collaborative efforts in creating economic opportunities and improving financial readiness among military communities. The program also connects fellows to a supportive alumni network and regional ambassadors for continued service.
