Support the School
Your support makes a real difference—helping Queen’s Business School grow, innovate, and provide life-changing opportunities for students and alumni alike. Contributions from our alumni community have funded scholarships, supported ground breaking research, and enhanced learning experiences that shape the leaders of tomorrow.
Giving back to Queen's Business School as a business or an industry professional is a direct way to access our best students and play a role in nurturing the talent of the future. In addition, corporate philanthropy can help to fund world-class research, support a historic campus, and enrich the student experience.
There are many ways to give back, from sponsorships and scholarships to annual prizes, financial gifts, and legacies. Every form of support strengthens our mission and ensures that QBS continues to thrive.
Join us in shaping the future—your involvement will create a lasting impact.

Additionally, it brings life to our course curriculum and motivates students to hear and learn from successful industry professionals and their real-life, practical experiences.
