CFA Societies Canada Ethics Challenge Individual Award

Individual undergraduate or graduate students at Canadian universities may register for the CFA Societies Canada Ethics Challenge individual competition. Participants complete the CFA Institute Ethics Learning Lab preliminary round (mid-December 2025 to mid-January 2026); the top 25 scorers advance to the National Individual Round held virtually May 1, 2026.

The national individual winner receives $1,500 CAD plus a commemorative award. National top 5 finishers receive a CFA Program scholarship of equivalent value. Local team finalists receive $400 CAD per member separately from the individual track.

Register by November 30 annually. The 2026 individual registration deadline was November 30, 2025; the program recurs each academic year with published official rules.

CFA Societies Canada runs the Ethics Challenge to build student awareness of ethical dilemmas in investment management.
