特許金融分析師CFA認證證書的含金量和發(fā)展前景被絕大部分金融從業(yè)者所認同，由此引發(fā)了一陣CFA考證潮。因為特許金融分析師證書是一張外來證書，可能在美國當?shù)?u>CFA考試報名費用不是太高，但是經(jīng)匯率一換算在國內(nèi)費用不菲。這對于一部分CFA候選人來說無疑是一比沉重的負擔，尤其是在校大學(xué)生以及一部分經(jīng)濟情況不是太好的考生來說，由此CFA協(xié)會推出了CFA獎學(xué)金，旨在獎勵那些成績突出以及資助經(jīng)濟拮據(jù)的考生。
　　下面cfa三級學(xué)長推薦了一份很完整cfa備考精華資料，在CFA考試前，一份CFA好資料+更早的準備cfa考試，能夠大大提升通過率。關(guān)于2017-2018年年CFA學(xué)習,建議可以早點下載2017-2018最新CFA電子資料進行了解學(xué)習（點我下載）
CFA獎學(xué)金申請,高頓CFA
　　2018年CFA獎學(xué)金申請截止日期
　　CFA獎學(xué)金分為兩個大類：Awareness和Access
　　Awareness
　　主要是針對合作的公司和大學(xué)，每個大學(xué)的CFA持有者可以提名5名學(xué)生，每所大學(xué)最多10名學(xué)生。ANU的政策是最后一年金融專業(yè)的本科生或者是金融管理和金融的碩可以申請，已經(jīng)發(fā)了三批了，每一批我都有朋友拿到，應(yīng)該不是很難。就是寫一封自薦信然后附上成績單就行了。
　　Access
　　主要針對個人，即你沒有公司來為你考試提供財務(wù)支持，你就可以申請。
　　Mission:The CFA Institute Access Scholarship Program(“Program”)is designed to make CFA
　　Institute programs more available to individuals who may not be able to afford the full program fees.(“Access Scholarships”).
　　申請者沒有收入上限和下限，是新的CFA考生或者老考生都可以，但注意不能同時申請Awareness和Access，每年也只能申請一次ACCESS獎學(xué)金。
　　獎學(xué)金面向一級，二級，三級，下一年6月或者12月的考試，所有考試費用（電子材料版）都降為250美元（即一級免了注冊費和部分考試費用，所以免了近900美元），但是你不能先報名再申獎學(xué)金，一定要等到獎學(xué)金下來，他們發(fā)給你CODE，你再去報名。比如這次通知我的時候已經(jīng)12月7日了，已經(jīng)過了最便宜的報名階段了（CFA報名分三個階段），但是你有信心拿到就可以等。
　　申請并不繁瑣，還是一封陳述信，這里面包括學(xué)業(yè)成就，職業(yè)經(jīng)歷，克服困難的經(jīng)歷，奉獻的精神，并且很有可能成為以后的CFA持有者。

　　下面有兩篇個人陳述范文可供參考：
　　Personal Statement-Sample 1
　　One of my career objectives is to become a leading Investment/Financial Adviser with great intellectual resources and skills required for the delivery of a value added,timely and personalized client service.The CFA charter is an internationally respected qualification,with its members driving development of capital markets and spear heading development projects especially in Africa where I come from.Having the CFA charter is a sign of competence and professionalism in the Investment Banking Service field.Also,the knowledge learned is a distinguishing factor among investment professionals.The CFA charter would increase my knowledge base,improve my marketability and also produce an agent for change in Africa and West Africa in particular as I intend to focus on Africa-based projects.My goal is to complete the CFA exams by the age of 26(currently 23)and the CFA access scholarship would help me achieve my goal of becoming a CFA charter holder faster as I would otherwise spend a long period saving up for the exam fees.
　　Personal Statement-Sample 2
　　I believe I am an excellent candidate for the CFA designation scholarship.My plans for the rest of my year at UW-L is to complete my finance and accounting classes for my major and minor,and to take the FIN 400 course.I am very excited to be taking the Advanced Financial Analysis course because I feel the course will complete my major and combine all my finance classes into one review course,which will prepare me for the most important test of my career.I am fully prepared to study the recommend 250 hours for the first exam and for following two rigorous exams in the next 3 years to come.
　　My ambitions after graduating from college are to go into the corporate world as a financial analyst.During the past summer,I had a financial analyst internship at Kohler Co.,where I learned a lot about the financial world from a corporate level and realized I could have a very successful,rewarding career in this area of finance.Having the CFA will grant my employer the security and confidence in knowing I have knowledge,integrity and professionalism of someone you can trust with your financial information and most personal details.
　　The CFA will provide me with a broad range of investment knowledge and high ethical standards of which will provide my future employer with a well-rounded individual.In working towards my CFA,I will not only learn and apply finance but economics,accounting and basic business management.I also plan to expand on my financial analyst real-life experiences and relate them to what have studied for the CFA(and vise-versa),so I can apply my education in a meaningful manner.
　　I hope while I am studying for all three exams of the CFA I will gain knowledge that will lead me to promotions.In the near future I would like to be a manager or controller of business/financial analyst or capital planning.The CFA will provide me with wisdom,standards and ethics to be an even better manager and leader.I already have powerful leadership qualities,most of which I have learned through the many positions I have held in my sorority Alpha Xi Delta,but I would like to expand on those qualities to become more successful in my career.
　　Not only will the CFA help me with my career,but also to help me grow as a person,learning self-discipline and guidance.The CFA will also help me keep on track with my future profession,and will keep concepts and ideas fresh in my mind and will make them easier to recall and use when needed.
　　Thank you for taking the time to review my application.Any financial help or program fees will be greatly appreciated and put to good use.
