FP100: General Principles
This course is designed to introduce students to the financial planning process. The course focuses on the general principles required to become a successful financial planner which include the ethics of the profession as well as the knowledge and skills required to prepare a financial plan.

Scholarship Opportunities

The new Kitces CFP® Certification Scholarship List was created to help individuals pursuing their CFP® certification. Millsaps College has no affiliation with any of these scholarship opportunities; the information is provided as a resource to our students.

CFP® BOARD'S PER CAPITA FEE:  EDUCATION COMPLETION SUBMISSION FEE

​

Starting in 2023, the CFP® Board will charge a $195 Per Capita Fee for every student reported by the school through the education verification system. Registered programs are required to submit completion of the coursework requirement through their education verification system for any student who has successfully completed the full registered program through their institution. This is a pass-through fee that the College will collect and pay to the CFP® Board.
 

The $195 Per Capita Fee will be charged to all students who are completing the program. This fee will be added to the Capstone (FP700) course invoice. The fee must be paid before the College can submit your coursework requirement to the CFP® Board.
 

Exceptions:  A student will not be charged the Per Capita Fee when:

  • Student completes only the Capstone course. These students must self-report to CFP® Board.

  • Students who attend multiple registered programs.  These students must self-report course completion certificates/transcripts to the CFP® Board.
