You can receive $1,000 to help cover your CFA Program enrolment fee and standard exam registration fee. There are 23 CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst — a global gold-standard investment credential) Program Awareness Scholarships available annually. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are in the Accounting and Financial Management (AFM), Sustainability and Financial Management (SFM) or Computing and Financial Management (CFM) program at the University of Waterloo's School of Accounting and Finance and plan to write the CFA exams. No deadline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check with the University of Waterloo School of Accounting and Finance to confirm when applications open and close this year. Selection criteria aren't published — ask the School of Accounting and Finance how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask the School of Accounting and Finance during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with the School of Accounting and Finance whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
These scholarships are offered through the University of Waterloo's School of Accounting and Finance, whose Accounting and Financial Management (AFM), Sustainability and Financial Management (SFM) and Computing and Financial Management (CFM) programs are recognized under the CFA Institute University Affiliation Program. Check with the School which students can apply.
