“First of all, I would like to thank the Georgia Southern Finance Department and Parker College of Business for the opportunity to take the 2019 CFA level 1 exam through the CFA scholarship. It has been a great journey that fortunately ended with me passing the exam with a good score. It has required a lot of time management, as I have studied 350+ hours for the exam between January and June while taking a full course load and being the vice president of the Southern Investment Association. However, it has been worth every single hour, and I am excited to move on to level 2 next year in my pursuit of becoming a CFA Charterholder. I would encourage everyone interested in the investment industry to pursue the designation, as it offers a broad variety of tools and information. ”
