American College of Financial Professionals
Raising the Level of Professionalism in Financial Services by Promoting Ongoing Education
Since 1927, The American College of Financial Services has helped professionals realize their career goals through rigorous and practical education in financial services. Our mission is clear – we are committed to benefitting society by delivering the highest quality education to the professionals entrusted with the public’s financial well-being. That commitment drives us to a focus on student success, relevant course material, and discovering new solutions for financial security.
From the creation of our first financial designation in 1927 — the prestigious Chartered Life Underwriter® (CLU®) insurance specialty — to the recent launch of our groundbreaking Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®) designation, The College’s faculty continue to develop and deliver innovative programs that meet the needs of the changing financial landscape.
Our faculty and Centers of Excellence are comprised of thought leaders whose insights help shape the financial services profession. Please use our website as a valuable resource for current industry news, information on our programs, and up-to-date lectures and webcasts that bring these experts to you. You will find what distinguishes The College from other academic institutions is an unwavering commitment to Pracademics —that’s practical academics — helping advisors master such topics as wealth accumulation, financial planning, philanthropic guidance, and retirement distribution strategies – all with a focus on ethics and professional standards.

- To better serve our stock and crypto donors, we host giving pages (like this one) so they can donate securities and crypto to other nonprofits from their DonateStock account.
- As this specific nonprofit has not yet registered with us, the donation will be processed and paid by Donatestock Charitable, Inc, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- Once the gift is initiated, we will contact the nonprofit beneficiary to inform them of the gift and arrange payment.
- After the gift is received, we will provide a tax receipt to the donor and send the proceeds, gift details and donor information to the nonprofit beneficiary.
- Payments are normally sent via ACH within 2 weeks of receiving the shares or crypto. If we cannot reach the nonprofit beneficiary within 30 days, we will remit payment by check.
