Financial Support

Employer Support

Many students are financially sponsored by their employers. We encourage you to review how your company will benefit from the knowledge and skills gained in the program. We can provide a brief overview of the benefits and necessities for employer support, so contact us if you would like assistance in putting together a case for sponsorship.

Bursaries

Bursaries are a supplemental funding source for students with demonstrated financial need; they should not be treated as your primary funding source. Bursaries are available to qualifying Canadian and international students; you may not be awarded a bursary every term.

Please note that due to the high volume of applications received each term, payment of funds may not occur until the middle of the application term; therefore, we encourage you to plan accordingly.

Loans & Financial Aid Programs

Learn more about eligibility criteria for various funding opportunities, what programs may be excluded from government-issued student financial assistance, and whom to contact if you have further questions. SFU Beedie does not guarantee, co-sign, or endorse these specific funding programs. If you've successfully taken out an educational loan with or received a scholarship from any other organization or financial institution, please let your department know so we can update this list for future students.

My key lessons from the program were learning how to effectively frame and structure a problem or situation, manage a tight schedule, know what to prioritize and how to prioritize it, and identify core problems quickly and addressing them.

Senior Vice President, Marketing & Planning

G&F Financial Group

The comprehensive simulations provided the greatest learning for me. They helped change my mindset and connect the different areas of learning into a comprehensive view of how an organization runs.

Matthew Grunert, MOT MBA

Sr. Director, Digital Operations & IT

The MSc Finance program gave me the technical foundation that I couldn’t function without. I work with clients in very senior roles, and it’s important to demonstrate your technical knowledge to gain their trust.

The immediate impact of the GDBA has been a change in the way I approach my day professionally. I am equipped to make better decisions. My confidence level has been elevated significantly, and I am enjoying a new sense of optimism in my career.

Percival Chang, GDBA

Manager & Investment Funds Advisor

I always saw myself working beyond clinical pharmacy. I felt that I could also shine on the business side of healthcare. I knew that with my strong clinical training an MBA would help open more doors and give me the mobility I was looking for in my career.

Morenike Akinyemi, FT MBA

Senior Project Manager, Transformation Delivery

Provincial Health Services Authority

The Part-Time MBA was excellent. It gave me exactly what I expected to receive, and I think that is the highest compliment you can pay a program. It met all my expectations and provided a solid grounding in business skills and strategies.

Oliver Zihlmann, PT MBA

Director of Development and Alumni Engagement

UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences

The i2I program is perfect for people like me who are deeply involved in science, and who want to look for opportunities in the business world. A program like this opens your mind and teaches you that there is another world of possibilities outside of the lab.

Elena Groppa, i2I

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Faculty of Medicine

University of British Columbia Biomedical Research Centre

The learners I work with are 95% Indigenous, and I find that they become more interested and retain information more, when we speak and learn from an Indigenous lens. The Indigenous content integrated into the program has been very beneficial to me in terms of how I can incorporate Indigenous information into the curriculum I currently teach.
