Introduction

CEIBS has officially become the CFA Program Partner from January 2015. Every fiscal year, the CFA Institute offers Three CFA scholarships to all currently enrolled CEIBS students in a degree program to encourage them to sign up for the CFA Exam.

Scholarship application for the 2026 exams is now open. Only currently enrolled CEIBS students in a degree program who will attend the CFA Exam can apply for the CFA scholarships. If the applicant is granted the scholarship, CFA Program Student Scholarship discounts will reduce the exam registration fee to $600 and waive the one-time program enrollment fee.

Application deadline is 15 January, 2026 for the 2026 exams. Late applications will not be accepted. The scholarship decision will be released around early February, 2026. Pls do not register for a CFA Program exam before receiving the decision email.
