I ran across a great opportunity while reading the Stars and Stripes(military newspaper) that I thought some of you maybe interested in. The 2010 Military Spouse Accredited Financial Counselor Fellowship Program offers selected military spouses a chance to earn Accredited Financial Counseling(AFC) credential. The grant covers the costs of program enrollment fees, study materials, webinar study sessions and exam feees.

Currently spouses or surviving spouses of U.S. servicemembers on active duty, in the Guard or Reserve or retired military with at least a high school diploma or GED are eleigible. You can find more info about applying on the following websites starting in early 2010. However, you can get more info about the program specifically now. www.nmfa.org or www.saveandinvest.org

I hope this helps someone
