Recognizing the value the CFP® designation adds to one's career development, the FPA DFW Scholarship Committee, in coordination with our funding partners, has established our Merit-Based Scholarship Program for qualified CFP® candidates across the state of Texas.

For 2010, we have again awarded two types of scholarships:

the CFP® Certification Exam reimbursement scholarships at $600 each; and

the Prep Course Scholarships which provide a reimbursement of up to $1,000 toward certain expenses incurred for exam preparation. The Prep Course scholarships are considered “top honors” and go to the most outstanding candidates in addition to the $600 Exam Fee Awards.
