Advancing Financial Readiness Through Partnerships At First Command Educational Foundation (FCEF), we believe that financial readiness is mission readiness—especially for our military community. That’s why we actively seek partnerships that expand access to financial education and career opportunities for service members, veterans, and their families. One of our most impactful collaborations is with The American College of Financial Services (Center for Military & Veterans Affairs). Through this partnership: ✅ We contribute to their scholarship programs, helping military service members and spouses pursue careers in financial services. ✅ We have accredited our TAKE COMMAND® program, enabling eligible learners to earn college credit in Consumer Finance Education at no cost. Anyone with a high school diploma who meets The American College’s entry requirements can receive up to three college credits based on their completion of TAKE COMMAND courses—free of charge. Access the courses here: https://lnkd.in/eKgr3EDA. For those in uniform or transitioning to civilian life, financial knowledge can be the difference between opportunity and hardship. As a veteran and now CEO & President of FCEF, I understand firsthand how critical it is to have the tools to make informed financial decisions. At FCEF, our mission is clear: 📌 Provide superior financial education to the military community 📌 Fund scholarships to support their educational and career goals If you believe in empowering military families through financial readiness, I invite you to join us.
