Scholarship opportunities for international students
For international students who are not eligible for ACPFG scholarships, there are several other options. It is likely that your home country or institution offers grants or scholarships that can be used to study at the ACPFG. We recommend you research this possibility, as we have several international students with us under such scholarships. In addition, these sites may have useful information about scholarships for international students that could be used for research at the ACPFG.
