CFA Program
The Program
Administered by CFA Institute, the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) Program is a graduate-level, self-study curriculum and examination program for investment specialists.
Established in 1962, the CFA Program sets the global standard for investment knowledge, standards, and ethics. Earning the credential can serve as a passport to entry or advancement within the investment profession around the world. The designation tells clients, employers, and colleagues that the charterholder has mastered a rigorous curriculum covering a broad range of investment topics and that he or she is committed to the highest ethical standards in the profession.
Our society encourages its members to earn the CFA charter and supports candidates by sponsoring CFA exam study groups and other programs. Many of our members hold the esteemed CFA designation.
Scholarship Information
Scholarships for the CFA Program are available on a limited basis through some universities and CFA Institute local Member Societies. Scholarships are typically available in the Spring and Summer for the following calendar year. Information about these scholarships can be obtained from the CFA Institute website or by contacting the Scholarship Chair.
