À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ

Students from our School of Accounting and Finance programs participate and challenge their skills each year at various competitions in and outside of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. Our students participate in various challenging accounting and finance case competitions and conferences. We believe that this is a valuable learning experience for those involved. Subsidies are available to offset students' costs. The School also offers the Financial Literacy Competition for high school students interested in developing their knowledge of finance.

Reimbursements: The SAF external case competition subsidy program encourages and supports students attending pre-approved case competitions by providing funding to offset the costs of the students' registration fees, travel, and accommodation. Academic and co-op records will be vetted as part of the approval process.

Promotional: Once approved to compete, you will receive a competition social storyboard pdf to help you with content creation as part of the subsidy program. You can find info on potential Instagram Reels that could be created by your team as a promotion of you and the event, a potential LinkedIn post that would be posted by you and shared by SAF, and information on creating a student blog post competition. 

SAF will also promote specific competitions on LEARN in 'My SAF Community' when seeking student applications to form a team. If you are an individual, you will be placed on a team if approved. Students can also find their own competitions to potentially be pre-approved to compete in. Students should seek a faculty advisor in this scenario. A faculty advisor will be provided for each competition listed above.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please fill out the 2025/2026 SAF External Competitions Subsidy Application Form, select the competition you wish to compete in, and reach out to Keidon Giles (krgiles@uwaterloo.ca) to confirm your submission.
