Student Benefits

Take Advantage of all the Benefits of Membership!

"I have been a student member of the CFA Society of Chicago (CFASC) since my sophomore year at Northwestern as one of the first undergraduates, if not the first, to join when the program was initiated in the same year. The advantages of membership are numerous. Not only does it qualify you for scholarships that are only available to members (like the Kimberly Paige Memorial Study Scholarship I received that paid for my Level I exam's Stalla review course in-full), there are also numerous opportunities to network with industry professionals and attend events at greatly discounted rates only available to student members. I would strongly encourage any undergraduates interested in pursuing the CFA charter and/or entering the financial services industry to join CFASC, you will learn a lot and gain fantastic experiences from the events. It is truly an amazing and excellent opportunity."
-- Lester Chan, Northwestern University Class of 2009
