Study
Groups
Many
candidates find that meeting with a small study group of
four to six candidates on a regular basis helps them better structure their study time and remain motivated.
The study groups may meet at an agreed-upon time in a
location convenient to all of the candidates in the
group. The study group meetings serve as an
excellent forum for discussing the CFA reading material
and sharing both expertise and moral support. An
added plus is that you are able to meet others in the
industry and build your network of contacts.
Please let us know of your interest in
participating in a study group (for June 2010 Exam) by completing the
application
form and returning it to us by 16th December 2009. We will match you with
candidates at the same level. We will also try to
group you with those who share your time and location
preferences if possible. You will be
advised of the details of your
group by January 2010. Please note that we only accept
applications from candidates who have registered for the
2010 June exam. This service is free
of charge.
Scholarship
Program
HKSFA
will award ten (10) scholarships (only applicable to the
June Exam) to candidates in
Hong Kong as part of the
scholarship program of the CFA Institute. These
scholarships waive the enrolment fee (only applicable if
the candidate pays it at the year he/she is granted the
scholarship) and discount the normal registration
fee. Scholarship recipients pay only US$225 plus
any applicable taxes and import duties for
entering into the CFA Program. It is not required
to be a CFA Institute member or an HKSFA member for
applying the scholarship. Candidates interested in
applying for the scholarship should complete and return
the application
form and verification form to us. Only
applications received no later than 31st December 2009
will be reviewed.
