More Information

All CFA registration fees are non-refundable. If candidates have applied for the CFA Access Scholarship Register while their application is pending for the same calendar year, they will have demonstrated their ability to pay for the CFA exam and their application for a scholarship. If you want to start studying for your exam before registering (because you have to wait for the scholarship notification in December), you can buy the digital curriculum and study tools in advance. Note that there is no refund for the program. We include the cost of the digital curriculum and the CFA study tools along with the exam fees.

For Level I scholarship applicants:

Because your program is part of the learning ecosystem, you can not buy a digital version of the CFA Institute. You can buy the digital / printed resume from an external provider, but you will not receive credit for your purchase when you sign up for the exam.

For Level II and Level III scholarship applicants:

You can buy the digital program and the study tools before registering. To do this, contact us by phone and provide the details of your credit card. Your registration fee will take care of the cost of this purchase.

For all scholarship applicants:

A printed version of the curriculum can be purchased separately. The printed program is not included in the registration fee; therefore, we do not grant credits to candidates who purchase the printed program prior to enrollment for the exam. Scholarship applicants are also responsible for shipping costs, as well as import duties and taxes applicable to the purchase of the printed curriculum.
