The Annual OptionEase CEPI Scholarship will be awarded each year to a member of the stock plan community who wishes to pursue the Certified Equity Professional (CEP) designation through Santa Clara University.
At OptionEase we are committed to helping equity professionals embrace the tools, technologies and training necessary to compete in this constantly changing market," said Kovacs.
