        Hello,

        I am planning to appear for the CFA level 1 in February 2022. When shall I apply for the access scholarship? considering that the scholarship stays active for 6 months. When does the registration for February exams open generally?

        Thank you.

              I want to register for CFA Level-1 for Feb-2022, but the early registration deadline is August 2021.

              Will I be able to get the Access scholarship before August? Considering applying in may 2021 on opening period or after reaching beyond august, I have to pay $1000 or there is good chance of getting scholarship before November-2021 which is the deadline for registering for Feb-2022.

                  I’ve moved your topic to this thread as it covers the same issue.

                  I want to register for CFA Level-1 for Feb-2022, but the early registration deadline is August 2021.

                  Will I be able to get the Access scholarship before August?

                  We simply do not know at this time. See CFA Institute’s response on the Access Scholarship here.

                  Considering applying in may 2021 on opening period or after reaching beyond august, I have to pay $1000 or there is good chance of getting scholarship before November-2021 which is the deadline for registering for Feb-2022.

                  I’m not sure what this means. The clearer your question and context, the better we can answer. 😊

                  Thank you for your response. Will I get the scholarship results in time before the registration window closes?

                  Registration for the CFA Level 1 Feb 2022 exams are expected to open sometime in May 2021. Access scholarships as you may know are due to open soon, so if you’re certain to apply for Feb 2022 you could put in an application when it does.

                    We don’t know exactly.

                    CFA Institute’s only official stance on this is ‘soon’. I seem to remember that they did mention ‘May 2021’ at one point, which means that hopefully it’ll be any time now.

                    We just know that it will eventually open, and it will be likely when they’ve decided how the new format and timelines would work for the Access Scholarship for CBT exams.

                      I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, but I am based here in Dallas and the local society on occasion will also have a scholarship.  Might be worth investigating if your local society has something similar to this…

                      For the Access Scholarship, I think CFA Institute are in the process of moving to a rolling basis so it’s currently not open to applications as the moment. But CFA Institute have indicated that it should be opening any time now.

                      Feb-2022 registrations may well be open by the time CFA Institute makes more details about the Access scholarship known and open up for applications.

                      If you’re a subscriber to the 300Hours mailing list, @Zee usually includes deadlines and announcements like that in it.

                        Has the window for access scholarship opened? It was scheduled to open in May. However, I am not able to apply since the site is still reflecting my previous application for the past year.

                            At this time we don’t have a formal launch date for the 2022 Access Scholarship Program but anticipate having more information released later this month or early next.

                            That would be anytime now, or early May. Hope that helps!

                              Hi,

                              To my knowledge, the last Access Scholarship was the one which had its deadline last year on 15-Sep-2020. This deadline was not changed to reflect COVID-19 and Customer Care mentioned that CFA had no plans to extend it. They also had no clue (I checked last year in late 2020) about the new Access Scholarship. Is there any update from anyone about the upcoming Access Scholarship? Customer Care right now is not very responsive in replying to emails unfortunately with all of the rescheduling of exams etc. Thanks,

                              Viraj

                                  CFA Institute came back to us on our enquiries on the Access Scholarship back in April:

                                  At this time we don’t have a formal launch date for the 2022 Access Scholarship Program but anticipate having more information released later this month or early next.

                                  So they’re running behind on their planned launch – might be any day now.

                                  Still no sign of CFA Access Scholarship. I want to register for Feb 2022 attempt, but with those high fees, I am not able to afford them. I am from India, and my University is not listed in the Student discount. The only hope for me is to wait for the Access Scholarship, which it seems is not opening. Any idea or workaround that might help me…?Please…

                                  And anyone knows when will the scholarship application open…?

                                      Hi.

                                      I am currently enrolled for Feb 2022 exams for Level 1. Now I came to know that Access Scholarship window will open today ie 10th Jan 2022, Can I apply for the same for August 2022 exams and beyond if I pass this attempt or if unfortunately didnt pass the exams in Feb 2022, will it be handy if I reappear in August 2022 having attain Scholarship.

                                      kindly suggest as I am curious about Scholarship.

                                      Thanks in advance.
