Graduate Referral Program
Shape tomorrow's business leaders
As a proud member of the SFU community, your insight and connections are invaluable in identifying the next generation of leaders for our SFU Beedie Graduate programs. We invite you to join the SFU Beedie Graduate Referral Program and help us cultivate a network of ambitious, values-driven professionals committed to making a positive impact in business and society.
By referring an exceptional colleague, friend, or member of your professional network, you play a vital role in shaping the future of SFU Beedie and strengthening our community of responsible leaders.
As a thank you, eligible referred applicants may receive an application fee refund. If your referral is admitted into an SFU Beedie graduate program, you’ll also be entered into a draw to win 1 of 5 open enrolment program vouchers through our offerings.
Together, we can continue to build a strong SFU legacy.

What impact does my referral have?
Great leaders recognize great potential and your insight carries weight. Your referral helps us identify high-caliber candidates and gives them a warm introduction to the SFU Beedie community. While a referral doesn’t guarantee admission, it allows us to personally connect with the individual, provide guidance on the application process, and offer support along the way.
Can I refer more than one person?
Absolutely. Each separate referral adds another entry into the draw (up to a maximum of five entries).
Is there a deadline to refer someone?
Referrals are accepted on a rolling basis, but we recommend submitting your referral before the application deadline your nominee is targeting. Contest deadline: December 1, 2026.
Do I need permission from the person I’m referring?
Is there an application fee refund for all referred applicants?
Referred applicants who meet the eligibility criteria may receive a refund of the application fee. This is determined after initial review by the admissions team.
