The CFA Institute Access Scholarship Program is designed to make CFA Institute programs more available to individuals who may not be able to afford the full program fees. Applications for the 2020 scholarships are now open.
Each CFA Society has the ability to award a pre-determined number of Access Scholarships per annum. The scholarship application period is open until 15 September 2019, to be used for the 2020 exams.
Candidates complete an online application for 2020 Scholarships, which then get considered and approved by the appropriate Society during the review period (19 September to 31 October 2019).
To help CFA Societies promote Access Scholarships locally, CFA Institute has developed several promotional items, including an email banner and several social media assets.
Societies can download these assets here.
Each CFA Society will be notified of their allocation by the Scholarships Team via email in early September and further information on the process can be found on the Society Center. Scholarship allocations and candidate applications will be available to be reviewed in the online scholarship portal, and scholarship portal training for all society reviewers will be provided between 19 August and 16 September.
Scholarships help us to promote the highest standards of ethics, education and professional excellence. Alongside access scholarships, we also offer women’s scholarships, student scholarships, professor scholarships, regulator scholarships and media scholarships. Read this inspiring story about Mayank Patel, a faculty member at the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India who was motivated by a number of students to pursue the CFA Program. Using a CFA Program Professor Scholarship, Mayank earned his CFA charter at the age of 39.
