As part of its commitment to advancing education and professional development within the family enterprise community, Alliant Private Client has once again awarded its Alliant Private Client Scholarship for Family Wealth and Enterprise Advising through the Family Firm Institute’s (FFI) Global Education Network (GEN).

The annual scholarship helps emerging professionals expand their expertise through FFI’s Advanced Certificate Program, one of the industry’s leading educational pathways for advisors serving family-owned businesses, family offices, and families of wealth. By supporting participation in the program, Alliant Private Client aims to strengthen the next generation of professionals who help families navigate the complex challenges and opportunities that accompany multi-generational wealth and enterprise.

The scholarship is an extension of Alliant Private Client’s longstanding involvement with FFI and reflects the work of its Family Enterprise Risk practice. Through collaboration with family enterprises, family offices, and trusted advisors, the team helps families address risk management, succession, governance, and other issues that can influence long-term continuity and legacy.

The 2026 scholarship recipient, Emeline Foster, is the founder of a philanthropic advisory practice serving highnet-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and multi-generational families. Her work focuses on helping families align decision-making, resources, and
long-term objectives across generations.

Reflecting on the selection, Linda Bourn, Senior Vice President and Family Enterprise Risk Practice Leader at Alliant Private Client, noted: "Emeline’s thoughtful approach to helping families
align resources, decision-making and purpose reflects the kind of leadership and innovation
this scholarship was designed to encourage." - Linda Bourn
