Financial Literacy Curriculum Supports for Students Proposal Submission

Thank you for extending the opportunity for the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) to submit a proposal to partner with Ontario school boards to support financial literacy learning in Ontario classrooms.      

As Canada’s top school for accounting and finance education, SAF is uniquely qualified to help equip students with the essential skills and knowledge needed to manage their financial well-being. For more than a decade, we have been supporting financial literacy education and we are passionate about making this information accessible to a younger generation of students.  

We’re excited about this opportunity and respectfully request that the Ministry of Education considers partnering with SAF and awarding us $300,000 to develop the proposed program.
