CFP Exam Scholarship Program

Note: XYPN will not reimburse scholarship winners who have already registered and paid for the exam. The scholarship covers the cost of the CFP® exam at the early bird registration rate. If a recipient registers during the standard or late registration window, they will be responsible for paying the difference in cost.

Recipients of the XYPN CFP® Exam Scholarship and the XYPN Diversity CFP® Exam Scholarship will have 12 months, from the date credit is placed on their CFP account, to register for the CFP exam. After 12 months the credit will be removed from your CFP account and returned to XYPN for future scholarship recipients.
