ICMA Scholarship Programme

ICMA’s yearly scholarship programme is part of the Association’s mission to raise standards and support inclusion in financial markets. A number of scholarships are made available to young people, from selected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, who are interested in a career in finance and who are unable to pursue a financial qualification due to their economic circumstances

The scholarships provide an opportunity to study for one of the ICMA Diplomas, namely:

ICMA Diploma in Debt Capital Markets
ICMA Diploma Securities & Derivatives
ICMA Diploma in Financial Market Operations

Details of the ICMA 2023 scholarship programme will be published later this year in October.
