UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Four Penn State World Campus students majoring in finance received scholarships that will aid in their access to and completion of industry exams.
The Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association awarded the scholarships as part of its ongoing commitment to the education of investment professionals in alternative investments through its Academic Partnership program.
The bachelor of science in finance is offered online in partnership with Penn State Behrend’s Black School of Business through Penn State World Campus.
The four students received $100 scholarships, which help offset exam costs. The recipients are Brittany Anderson, of Houston, Texas; Divine Cook, of Baltimore, Maryland; Ruben Marin Jr., of New York; and Thomas Strugar of Uppsala, Sweden. One Behrend campus student, Aruj Bhargava, of Sacramento, California, also received a scholarship and will join the others in preparation for the August 2022 Level 1 exam.
