In addition to scholarships administered by the Center, some CFP Board Registered Programs have established their own scholarship programs. Be sure to inquire with the programs directly, as well as ask about any reimbursement that your employer may offer, and explore other available third-party scholarships on CFP.net.
If you work in a financial planning firm already, your employer may offer reimbursement for some or all of the costs associated with certification. Be sure to ask your manager or human resources department to find out what resources are available to you.
