Financial literacy shouldn't be a privilege.
Queen's Personal Finance (QPF) was founded to close the gap between what students are taught in the classroom and what they actually need to know to manage their money with confidence.
Our Story
QPF started as a conversation between a small group of Queen's students who realized they were making major financial decisions, student loans, credit cards, first jobs, without ever being taught the fundamentals. What began as informal budgeting chats grew into a full club: structured workshops, a mentorship network, and partnerships across campus.
Today, QPF brings together students from Commerce, Engineering, Arts and Science, and every other faculty who share one goal: graduating from Queen's not just with a degree, but with the financial skills to back it up.
Our Mission
To promote financial understanding across Queen's campus by making personal finance education practical, accessible, and genuinely engaging, one workshop, mentorship, and conversation at a time.
Our Vision
A campus where every student leaves Queen's equipped to budget, save, invest, and make informed financial decisions, regardless of their program or prior exposure to finance.
What We Stand For
Integrity
We teach financial concepts honestly and without conflicts of interest, no product sales, no sponsorships that compromise our advice.
Accessibility
Money is often left out of the classroom. We make sure every student, regardless of background or faculty, has a way in.
Community
Personal finance is more approachable together. We build a peer network where students learn from and support one another.
Practicality
Every workshop and resource is designed to be used immediately: budgeting your next paycheck, filing your first return, opening your first TFSA.
