Guide

How to write a stronger essay

What should a CFA Access Scholarship essay include?

Reviewers look for 12 pointers. Give each one a line or two.

In short: who you are, your track record and your goals. Say why CFA, your money situation and why you need the scholarship. Then what it changes, your commitment, ethics, leadership and community work, how you'll give back, and a grateful close.

The full checklist sits in What goes into a strong essay, under the essay box.

It reads your essay like a senior scholarship reviewer. It scores 5 criteria out of 100 each:

  • Clarity & structure — flow, intro, conclusion, paragraphing.
  • Motivation & career fit — why CFA, short- and long-term goals.
  • Specificity — named programs, real numbers, concrete details.
  • Reflection — genuine self-awareness about your situation.
  • Impact & differentiation — leadership, ethics, give-back.

You also get an overall score and a list of specific fixes.

How long should the essay be?
