              Usually a decision on a CFA scholarship takes no longer than 12 weeks.

                  So I have applied for the student scholarship and will apply for the access scholarship as well when the window opens, So I should keep studying for the May attempt and I will be notified for the scholarship by 31 March? Also if I dont get a scholarship, will I still get the early bird discount for May attempt ?

                      If you aren’t successful with your scholarship application, yes, you should be offered early-bird registration for May’22.

                  If I apply in the window of Jan 10 to Feb 14 for Access Scholarship, which is the earliest level 1 exam I can apply for?

                      Based on the deadlines (decision made no later than 31 March 2022) you’ll be able to apply for Aug’22.

                      Unfortunately, the CFA Institute doesn’t offer student scholarships specifically for the exam registration fees. However, there are still ways to potentially reduce the cost:

                      CFA Program Scholarship: The CFA Institute offers a scholarship program that covers the entire cost of the CFA Program (all three levels). This scholarship is highly competitive and has a separate application process. You can find more information and deadlines on the CFA Institute website: https://www.cfainstitute.org/en/programs/cfa/scholarships/access

                      Local Scholarships: Some local investment or financial societies in Edinburgh might offer scholarships for CFA candidates. Here’s how to find them:

                      Search online for “[Financial Societies in Edinburgh]” or “[Investment Clubs in Edinburgh]”.
                      Contact the finance departments of universities in Edinburgh. They might have scholarship information or be able to point you in the right direction.

                        Hi Suraj, If you are a student and wish to continue your higher education then a student scholarship is very helpful for you. With the help of the scholarship, you can easily pursue your higher education without worrying about money. Scholarship gov is a dedicated portal where you can find scholarships as per department and education.
