Through the Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship Program, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners supports the education of collegiate accounting and criminal justice students, around the globe, who may become Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) in the future.
This scholarship program was named after two members of the ACFE, Larry Jennings, 49 and Tracy Ritchie, 41, both of Houston, Texas, who were among five people fatally wounded when unknown assailants in Karachi, Pakistan fired upon their vehicle on November 14, 1997. All five people killed were employees of Houston-based Union Texas Petroleum Holdings, Inc. The vehicle was in route to Union Texas' Karachi office.
Scholarships of $1,000 each and a one-year ACFE Student Associate membership are awarded annually on the basis of...
