Tate Scholarship
Financial Advice NZ is excited to offer a scholarship for the top new CFPCM professional. The Tate Scholarship recognises the commitment of financial advisers in obtaining qualifications and continuing professional development at the highest pinnacle mark of a CFP professional.
CFP professionals meet rigorous education and training standards, and are committed to serving their clients’ best interests today to prepare them for a more secure tomorrow. To encourage and support advisers in achieving this standard of excellence, the Tate Scholarship of $5,000 will be awarded to an adviser who has been granted CFP certification.
The scholarship programme will run for five years, with the first scholarship awarded on the 16th of November 2021 at the Financial Advice NZ Gala Dinner and Awards Night in Wellington. All CFP professionals are eligible for the Tate Scholarship in the year they have been granted CFP certification.
Financial Advice NZ would like to thank Nigel Tate of Nigel Tate Financial Planning for this generous scholarship. Nigel, a CFP professional himself, is committed to the highest professional standards in financial advice. He works hard for the profession and is an advocate for the future of quality financial advice in New Zealand.
