The FPA Diversity Committee created a merit-based
scholarship program to sponsor Diversity Scholarship award recipients to attend
a FPA national conference, collaborate with the FPA community, and promote
inclusivity and creativity within the financial planning profession. The FPA Diversity Scholarship
Program helps FPA develop strategies to raise awareness and promote
inclusiveness of diverse communities including, but not limited to: age, race,
ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation in the financial planning profession.
FPA is dedicated to providing knowledge, advocacy,
community, and
leadership to all those who need, support and
deliver professional financial planning. FPA believes that everyone, no matter
what their situation or economic status, can benefit greatly from the
experience and advice of a competent, ethical financial planner. FPA strives to increase
professional opportunities for the widest spectrum of individuals so that all
may thrive and prosper in the financial planning profession.
We are in our fourth year of scholarships and have
an impressive team of FPA Diversity Scholars. Winners are selected based on
their willingness to demonstrate and act upon an intense desire to affect the
diversity of the financial planning profession. Winners were chosen to attend
FPA Business Solutions, Experience and Retreat in 2012. Please consider applying for a scholarship to
attend Retreat or Experience this year. Applications for FPA Retreat are due
March 29.
