Chartered Financial Analyst Scholarship
The Chartered Financial Analyst Program (CFA) is a professional credential offered internationally by the American-based CFA Institute to investment and financial professionals.
Through the participation in the CFA University Recognition Program, the University of Lethbridge Dhillon School of Business is eligible to award up to five CFA Program Awareness Scholarships for students to take the CFA examinations (Levels I, II or III) in June each year. Scholarship recipients pay a discounted registration fee, along with curriculum and shipping costs, plus any applicable taxes and import duties.
Award
The scholarship covers the one-time CFA Program enrolment fee (if applicable) and reduces the exam registration fee (includes access to the curriculum eBook) to US$350. Scholarship candidates are responsible for any additional costs related to selecting/purchasing the curriculum.
