Educational Trust Awards for University students

The CISI Educational Trust Awards celebrate excellence amongst undergraduate and postgraduate level students. The eligible university students are studying for a CISI exam alongside their university course at a CISI Centre of Excellence or CISI Partner University. The purpose of the Awards is to support the ambitions of each winner as they progress into a career within the finance sector. 

Recipients are selected based on excellence in university projects or examinations and are then invited to submit an essay of 400 words for the opportunity to attend an interview with members of the Educational Trust. The interview day provides the students with the opportunity to visit the CISI offices, network with the CISI Educational Trust and achieve an additional award at the discretion of the Trust.
