The fellowship covers the costs associated with completing the AFC training and testing. Created in 2006, this opportunity is made possible through generous funding and

support by FINRA Foundation, and in partnership with the National Military Family Association (NMFA). The FINRA Foundation covers the costs of the AFC training and testing. To learn more, visit: http://www.afcpe.org/certification/certification-programs/military-spouse-fellowship/
