CFA Society of Chicago is pleased to offer two types of scholarships for candidates sitting for the CFA Exams. Please read the award descriptions carefully as there are different criteria for each scholarship:

1. Kimberly Paige Memorial Study Scholarship (sponsored by CFA Society of Chicago) - Members-Only

This scholarship is awarded to deserving CFA Chicago members (currently enrolled in the CFA program) on the basis of need and high professional/academic achievement.

Scholarship History:

Kimberly Paige worked for CFA Institute from 2001 until her untimely death in 2007, at the age of 28. Ms. Paige graduated from University of Virginia (a recipient of a full academic merit scholarship) and immediately began her employment with the CFA Institute Centre for Financial Market Integrity. In 2005, Kimberly became the Society Relations Representative for the 16-society Midwest region and began her relationship with CFA Chicago leaders and staff. Her responsibilities included providing CFA Chicago with services to heighten awareness and utilization of resources available from CFA Institute. Kimberly was a true advocate for our members and candidates, as well as a constant source of support.

With the blessing of Kimberly's family, the CFA Chicago Board of Directors formally changed the name of our existing Study Scholarship to honor Kimberly's commitment to excellence.
