Scholarships for Summer CFA Writers

| June 3, 2021
Submitted by Alexis Maynard for Student Experience

The CFA Scholarship provides financial support to those students seeking CFA designation.

What you need to know: 

  • The CFA Scholarship is only open to students who are pursuing Finance coursework, as this area has been judged to satisfy the CFA Program Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK).
  • The CFA Institute currently charges a program enrollment fee of US $450 and a standard exam registration fee of US $1000.
  • The CFA scholarship waives the one-time CFA Program enrollment fee and reduces the exam registration fee (includes access to the curriculum eBook) to US$350.
  • The Scholarship represents a savings of US$1,100.
  • The fees are set by the CFA Institute and the savings can vary from year to year.

Eligibility

  • Applicants must be pursuing CFA designation in July 2021
  • Applicants must have taken 3FH3, 3FB3, 4FK3, 4FJ3, and 4FC3

If you are interested, please submit your latest unofficial transcript to Dr. Cheung (scheung@mcmaster.ca) one month before the standard CFA exam deadline.
