MSFP - Masters of Science in Financial Planning

A USO transitions specialist connected me with Act Now Education, a nonprofit created by a military veteran to help people transitioning to civilian work life and veterans navigate benefits offered by colleges, Fortune 500 companies, and other nonprofits. 

During the Act Now Zoom orientation, they mentioned two  Master’s degrees that had a full ride scholarship for qualifying military members.

My interest was immediately piqued in the MSFP - Master’s of Science in Financial Planning.

The program prepares their graduates to take the CFP exam, giving them one of the gold standard certifications in the industry. 

"The Master of Science in Financial Planning (MSFP) is an accredited graduate degree program that gives aspiring and active financial professionals the practical and relevant skills they need to improve the financial well-being of their clients.

Students in the MSFP program receive a strong foundation in financial planning principles using sound, ethical, business practices, and have the option to choose one of three concentrations representing the fastest-growing and most relevant fields in financial services today: Financial Planning, Retirement Planning, or Legacy Planning."

The program is also listed on the VA website as an accredited institution that qualifies for the GI Bill.

"The MSFP program consists of 10 courses and 30 credits; four core courses (12 credits) along with six more courses (18 credits) in each of the three potential concentration areas."

Core Courses:

MSFP 551- Introduction of Financial Planning (Residency I)

MSFP 559 - Fundamentals of Estate Planning (Residency I)

MSFP 559 - Fundamentals of Estate Planning (Residency I)

MSFP 650 - Capstone Case Development (Residency II)
