The CFA Institute Access Scholarship Program is designed to make CFA® Program more available to individuals who may not be able to afford the full program fees.

CFA Program enrollment fee is waived and exam registration is reduced to USD250.

The scholarship application window is closed and will open in the fall of this year. Check back here for updates.

Applicants must meet the enrollment criteria and requirements for CFA Program.

While financial need will be strongly considered, awards may be based on a combination of factors, including financial need; the academic, professional, or other accomplishments of the candidate; obstacles overcome by the candidate; contributions to the local community; the candidate’s interest in pursuing the CFA charter; and other personal characteristics that indicate the individual is a strong candidate to receive an Access Scholarship and become a CFA charterholder.
