The ACT Educational Trust is a registered charity that supports the treasury profession by providing education opportunities and funding for projects that would otherwise not go ahead without the assistance of the Trust.
The Trust’s core project is a bursary scheme, which was established in November 2005. It provides financial aid to students who wish to study for ACT professional qualifications.
The bursary scheme enables students in developing countries who were not in a position to fund their studies to study towards an ACT qualification. Successful applicants begin with our Certificate in Treasury Fundamentals qualification, and can then apply to go on to take the Certificate in Treasury and Diploma in Treasury Management. There are some exemptions for prior learning, such as for IFAC accountants, and further information on the scheme can be found on the bursary page.
The bursary covers:
With your help, the Educational Trust can continue to support those students most in need of financial assistance. You can donate any amount via our online donation form. Alternatively, if you would like to remember the ACT Educational Trust in your will, your legacy will be used to support the bursary students and advance treasury education in developing countries.
