From what it looks like, CFA offers the Access Scholarship and the Awareness Scholarship.
Access Scholarship: Awarded to those who may not be able to afford the registration and program enrollment costs. Evaluated on a financial-need basis.
Awareness Scholarships: Awarded to college students, women, employees of regulatory agencies, and media organization employees. Seeing as you're a second-year analyst, I'm assuming you don't fall into any of those categories.
Both require an essay. You can also consider asking your employer.
Good luck!
you haven't heard of employers paying for the CFA? I mean... WHAT?
OP: Ask your boss. Many finance firms pay for this or any other exams and even give you study leave (5 days a year or so) to do it/take the exam. Most firms will offer some level of support with these qualifications. It is at your manager's discretion ultimately so if you don't ask you don't get.
I’m in college so I should’ve been more clear. That’s good to know. Thanks, @whatever1"
lol sounds like op is in college too..
So based on these responses I can either ask my employer or the CFA Institute
CFA Scholarships other than CFA Societies??? HELP (Originally Posted: 02/11/2010)
I missed the deadline for my local CFA Society's scholarship, even after confirming that I would probably get one, because of an entrepreneurial work opportunity that came to me in January, but that's mostly done now and I want to sit for the Level 1 in June. Are there any other scholarship opps besides local CFA societies? My school has no program for this, and I don't see myself coming up with $1100 by next Wednesday...
If there is any professor at your university who has a cfa, he can sign a form and you will get a scholarship.
