Dear David
I'm a newbie out here. I'm a FRM 2009 (full) aspirant and planning to apply for FRM Scholarship program which covers the cost of FRM Exam Registration fee.

I have 2 queries for you :

1. If I send all the concerned documents for scholarship to GARP before 30th April '09 ,but dont get selected for the same later, then how much will I have to pay for Exam Registration ?? Will I be allowed to pay the EARLY REGISTRATION FEE (which i can safely pay now....) ??
hope i made myself clear david... :grrr:

2. What do you think are my chances to earn a scholarship considering applications have started pouring in from 2nd March onwards and as GARP says " Applicants will be considered in the order in which their completed application packages are received. " ??

Pls reply asap.....running short of time..... :cheese:

Thnx

Hi Hitesh,

As BT doesn't control that, it's impossible for me to say specifically. I wrote our contact and GARP replied with the following:

"If he/she wants to ensure that he gets the early rate, he should pay and then we will reimburse him, if he/she is awarded a scholarship. The scholarship only covers the Exam Registration Fee. The hardest part is we get so many applicants from the same school and the scholarship is based on a first come, first serve basis only - they are actually time stamped..."

I hope that helps, in part, to answer your query.
