Resources and Scholarships

CFA Society Mississippi and the CFA Institute strive to provide access to the CFA Program to individuals from all walks of life. To accomplish this goal, both entities offer multiple types of scholarships targeting different audiences as well as free and/or reduced-price resources. From exam scholarships to university scholarships to discounted study materials, there are an abundance of ways for members and non-members to take advantage of financial assistance.

CFA Institute Scholarships

The CFA Institute offers many scholarships for candidates interested in the CFA Program. Applicants should apply for these scholarships directly with CFAI's Scholarships page. The available scholarships include:

  • Access Scholarship - For those who may be unable to afford the full price for the CFA Program enrollment and exam registration. These are need-based scholarships to help cover CFA exam costs. We encourage all to apply even if your need case is questionable. To apply for this scholarship and to read more information, click here. Note: Do not register for the exam until you receive your scholarship. 
  • Women's Scholarship - For women who do not qualify for other CFA Institute scholarships and have not yet registered for their next exam. Click here for more information.
  • Student Scholarship - ​For students who attend an Affiliated University. Click here for more information. 
  • Professor Scholarship - For full-time college or university professors and administrators/department heads. Click here for more information. 
  • Regulator Scholarship - For employees of non-profit entities that supervise the business conduct of the investment management industry. Click here for more information. 

In addition to the above scholarships, US service members and veterans can receive tuition reimbursement for the CFA Program through the Department of Veteran's Affairs under the GI Bill. To read more about this process, visit the VA's website here.
