L1 Feb’22: Registration, scholarship & study material timeline advice

1. There is no confirmation on when the Access Scholarship will be open for applications, see ongoing thread here. All deadlines for all exams can be found in our CFA deadlines guide.
2. As @Zee has mentioned, materials by Kaplan Schweser will be available by June/July.
3. I would advise starting about 6 months before your exam. So if come August you’re still waiting for the Access scholarship you might want to start studying first.

Personally I would be wary of waiting for the Access scholarship since there is no guarantee they would even open to applications in time for Feb’22. But that’s just my opinion – decide what works best for your situation.
