No. The CFA Scholarship only cuts the exam fee paid to CFA Institute. Coaching, books, local taxes and the separate enrolment fee are not covered by it.

Marksheets, a personal statement and ID proof are needed for the CFA Scholarship. Teachers also send a university letterhead letter, a CV and job proof with the form.

Only one. You must wait for the reply before you apply again. The CFA Scholarship cannot be clubbed with another CFA Institute scholarship for the same exam booking.

Yes. Indian students apply for the CFA Scholarship under the same rules as everyone else. There is no India quota. The exam is given at Indian test centres, so you do not have to go abroad.

Anyone who meets the CFA Program enrolment rules can apply for the CFA Scholarship, if they have not booked an exam. Access is need based. Student needs a tied-up college. Professor needs full-time teaching

The CFA Scholarship brings the exam fee down to USD 400 under the Access Scholarship. It brings the fee down to USD 600 under the Student and Professor scholarships. All three come with the Premium package.

There is no direct answer to this because it all depends on which career you choose.  

CFAs earn higher in global finance, investing and portfolio management. But CAs earn better in traditional accounting, auditing and taxation.

Both fields are kind of different. They serve different purposes. You can choose on the basis of your long-term career goals. 

CFA is all about finance, investment & portfolio. It requires 3 years to cover and is good for you if you are seeking globally recognised credentials. It leads to quicker salary progressions for young people.
