Scholarship
The CFA charter is a global designation, with its members pushing the development of capital markets and one of my career objectives is to contribute and be a part of that development with great resources and skills as a leading financial analyst / Investment adviser. Since I have a non-finance background, I believe that going through the process of obtaining the charter, I can be assured of a great, solid grounding in financial knowledge and expertise. The CFA charter is the global standard for embodying the integrity, dedication, and advanced skills needed to build a stronger, more accountable financial industry. Having the CFA charter is a sign of competence and professionalism in the investment management and financial analysis. Thus, the CFA charter can earn me instant credibility with peers, employers, and clients who know the hard work it takes to earn the charter. On becoming a CFA Charterholder, I can gain a lifelong insights as part of a vast global professional network of highly trained individuals worldwide and can also have access to unmatched professional resources. This will not only help me to enhance my skills but also provide me with a platform to contribute to the global charterholder community which is a powerful force keeping markets working effectively and helping restore trust in the profession. The CFA charter would increase my knowledge base and improve my marketability. With more CFA chartholders in the financial services industry in the emerging market economies like India from where I belong to, the trust of people in finance industry will be enhanced as charterholders are trusted, objective experts who have been trained in investment ethics and are held accountable to a strong code of ethics. I'm determined to complete the CFA examinations by the age of 25 (currently 23) and the CFA access scholarship can help me to achieve my goal of becoming a CFA charter faster as I am fully dependant on my family whose income is not sufficient enough to meet my educational expenses and could not afford the exam fee in the current financial situation and thus, have to spend a long period of time saving up for the exam fee
