FINCAD Women in Finance Scholarship Program 2019

160

Application Deadline: June 30th 2019

The field of finance is changing rapidly, largely in response to regulations designed to protect market practitioners and to prevent financial crises. FINCAD has long believed that deep market knowledge, transparency and trustworthiness play a critical role in making financial markets safe for all participants.

In addition, FINCAD is keenly aware that the majority of
practitioners in the capital markets industry are men, and that the
trend to include more women in the industry is not as rapid as it should
be.

For these reasons, FINCAD established our annual Women in Finance
Scholarship. The goal is to encourage and support outstanding women in
the field of finance, particularly those pursuing careers in financial
asset management, market risk management and derivatives finance within the capital markets.

The FINCAD Women in Finance Scholarship is an award of US$20,000 to support graduate-level studies.

The scholarship is open to women of any age and citizenship who are studying Finance in an accredited graduate-level program.
