AACE is excited to launch this new membership program. The Member Assistance Program offers member support with dues and education assistance. Individual members in good standing are eligible. The program intends to ensure that individuals can maintain AACE membership and further their professional development during times of financial insecurity when keeping members connected to the AACE community and available resources is vital. Funds are limited, and the program will continue at the discretion of the AACE Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will designate a maximum total award amount annually.

At this time, only the Conference & Expo Grants are open.

These grants provide funding to cover the meeting registration for AACE members who have provided volunteer service to the association. The total number of grants awarded will be subject to funding available. Applications will be reviewed and approved by AACE staff. Selected recipients must confirm within seven days that they wish to accept the grant (or the grant may be made available to another applicant).

Eligibility:

• Current AACE member at the time of application.
• AACE volunteer service within the last five years.
• Demonstrate the need by completing the online application before the deadline.

Eligible Expenses:

• This grant covers conference registration only. It does not cover travel, lodging, meals, or other incidental expenses.

Lodging Requirement:

• To remain eligible for this grant, you must stay at the official conference host hotel during the event. Recipients are responsible for booking and paying for their accommodations.

Only one education grant (Conference & Expo or Online Education) may be awarded to a member every five years.
