The Centre makes a number of Academic Achievement Awards each year to the highest performing students, other winners included MSc Financial Engineering student Ramelis Acosta from the Domincan Republic and BSc student, Tsz y Luk, from China.

The Vetiva Prize for Best Graduating African Student was established by one of the ICMA Centre's alumni, Dr Olaolu Mudasiru, who is now Deputy Managing Director of Vetiva Capital Management Limited in Nigeria. In addition to the £1,000 prize Chardin, was also offered a job at Vetiva. Dr Musasiru, said of the prize:
