Women in Finance Scholarship

As part of our continued support to the financial services industry, Kaplan Professional is proud to partner with the Financial Planning Association® (FPA) to offer 10 Women in Finance Scholarships.


The purpose of the scholarship scheme is to support and encourage women with disadvantaged circumstances to enter (or re-enter) the industry and achieve leadership roles across the financial services sector.


Kaplan Professional understands the important difference women make in the profession and is committed to promoting diversity and supporting women at all career stages. We hope the scholarship scheme will go some way towards alleviating some of the financial burden to study at the postgraduate level, especially for those women who may be disadvantaged by their situation.
