The CGFM scholarship was established to provide financial reimbursement to Greater Lansing AGA Chapter members who have successfully completed all three CGFM examinations and have been awarded the CGFM designation. It is to provide an incentive to those considering becoming Certified Financial Managers by reimbursing certain qualified expenses related to the cost of preparing for and taking the examination.
