At AssetMark, we believe that a diverse and respectful community is a strong community. Through our annual Women Advisors Forum, we are working to ensure greater diversity in the financial services industry. As part of this commitment, AssetMark has partnered with CFP Board Center for Financial Planning to offer this special scholarship providing financial assistance to eligible candidates taking the July 2024 CFP® exam.
On behalf of Natalie Wolfsen, CEO, Esi Minta-Jacobs, Executive Vice President, Carrie Hansen, Chief Operations Officer and the People of Color Employee Resource Group from AssetMark, Inc. and in partnership with CFP Board Center for Financial Planning, the scholarship awards $625 toward the early registration rate of $825 for the July 2024 CFP® exam. This means a scholarship awardee will assume financial responsibility for $200 of the July 2024 CFP® exam.
To qualify for the scholarship, applicants must not be registered to take the July 2024 CFP® exam, meet eligibility criteria below and successfully complete this application form. CFP Board will award scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible applicants.
