The fees of the CFA exams are quite high, and there is no other financial aid than the scholarship. This scholarship therefore gives a huge amount of concession in the examination fees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scholarship holders will pay US$250 instead of the regular fee, which is up to US$1,250. In addition, you will get CFA Institute study materials, which include the curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is crucial to have this scholarship because it provides the opportunity for equality to people with different financial backgrounds. Many clever and hardworking candidates drop out of the CFA program because of issues related to money. Therefore, the Access Scholarship CFA is a <span id=\"dur\">deserving<\/span> opportunity to remove that barrier and assist the candidates to go forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>CFA Access Scholarship Requirements<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CFA Access Scholarship is not granted to every applicant. You must follow some rules and conditions instituted by the CFA Institute. Moreover, fulfilling these requirements assures that the scholarships are granted to needy candidates who wish to do the CFA. Below are the points covering the chief CFA Access Scholarship requirements.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Financial Need<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This scholarship is for financially needy students who cannot afford the CFA Program.

They must have at least four years of education and work experience in an acceptable field, along with a valid international passport.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Exam Registration Status\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You cannot apply for the Access Scholarship if you are registered to sit for an exam or if you are waiting for results.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Employer Support\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your employer is currently financially supporting you in pursuing the CFA Program, you are not eligible to apply for the Access Scholarship CFA.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Application Integrity\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Application of any misrepresentation or omission of facts is a violation under the CFA Institute&#8217;s Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
