Also look if your undergraduate institution has a CFA scholarship program. Or even the regional/area CFA society. These are other options to help pay for your CFA exams and prep materials.
Do BB investment banks pay for your CFA? (Originally Posted: 01/25/2015)
just wondering thanks
I wish I was as funny as you
bump any other opinions on more times?
When do you think is the best time for someone to start studying for their CFA level I exam? Would it be reasonable to start in 2nd year of undergrad or is that a bit too early?
You're not eligible to sit for it until your senior year so yeah it might be a little early.

My EB has a program that where they pay for your CFA fees including all study materials (excluding the 1-time registration costs you pay upon registering for the first exam). Alternatively, they will pay for GMAT prep course/study materials.
Yes
CFA not reimbursed at BB (Originally Posted: 03/29/2011)
My firm (BB) recently made me aware that they do not reimburse IBD employees for the expenses of the CFA charter, only S&T employees. I was wondering if any of your banks do reimburse or if that's a standard?
Depends on the firm, apparently. I am being reimbursed for annual membership fees every year.
If you are back office, they probably won't do it. What area do you work?
ibankers dont need CFAs
