Professor,<br>
<br>
As you know, CFA Institute has recently modified its eligibility policy for college students. Students who have two years left in their studies can enroll and register for Level I of the CFA Program now, allowing them to take a big step toward their future
career while they are still in school.<br>
<br>
We have been gratified by the response to this policy change. Students taking advantage of the opportunity to enroll in the CFA Program now will get a boost as they go out in search of internships and part-time jobs. We know from experience that employers respond
very well to CVs that note the student has the CFA Program in process. <br>
<br>
If students <b><a href="https://click.mail.cfainstitute.org/?qs=0616eae96de6e6a8fe524661fb662e6536397fc7b357a90b017f9d3c57f02f67eb5acd815db6b6efee608190a41017a606b41ecc760a9869" title="register for the August 2023"><span style="color:#008ED6;text-decoration:none">register
