What to Know About CFA Scholarship

The Chartered Financial Analysis (CFA) Institute leads the way in shaping the global investment profession. This is done by promoting the highest standards of ethics, education, and professional achievement all to advance society.

The CFA Program is a comprehensive three-part exam that evaluates knowledge of investment instruments, asset appraisal, portfolio management, and wealth planning.

CFA awards three scholarships annually to students enrolled in the MSc Finance and Banking program who meet the minimal requirements specified in the annual application call.

The CFA Program Student Scholarship offers access to the course materials and curriculum and waives the first enrollment fee for the CFA program. It also reduces the cost of the CFA exam registration.

Only in the last step of the exam registration checkout process does this discounted charge (USD 350) become visible.

This $350.00 cost for the three scholarship recipients will be covered by the MSc Finance and Banking program for the academic year 2024-2025.

Requirements for the CFA Financial Support Scholarship 

All participants are required to observe the following Official Rules to preserve the integrity of the Program:

1. Individuals who are either new or continuing candidates for the CFA Program may apply as scholarship candidates.

2. Scholarship candidates are not subject to any precise income or wealth limitations, neither a minimum nor a maximum.

3. Candidates are excluded if their present job offers any financial support for their CFA Program enrollment.

4. Each applicant is only qualified to earn one Access Scholarship in a given year.

5. A Candidate is only permitted to be awarded one scholarship for each exam.

As a result, if an applicant applies for both an Access Scholarship and an Awareness Scholarship and is chosen for one of them, the other applications will be rejected.
