They focus on practical application, enhancing your ability to integrate faith into a financial planning/advising practice.

Guest Speakers

We understand that a lot of learning in the financial planning industry comes from experience working with clients. Each month Biola FPA invites guest speakers who have professional experience in the financial planning industry to share about their career journeys and insights they have gained.

Financial Literacy Week

Events and prizes will be offered throughout the first week of April, which is when the U.S. recognizes financial literacy week. Peer financial coaches will offer their services inside of the dorms.

Special Events

Meet the Money Managers

Every March, the Biola FPA puts on the Meet the Money Managers event that connects students with real professionals from different firms both around Southern California and the country. This is the club’s biggest event of the year with multiple firms coming to visit Biola’s campus including some powerhouses in the industry like: Ronald Blue, EP Wealth, Mercer Advisors, Trilogy Financial, and more.

Alumni Networking

Networking is the foundation of success in the financial planning industry. Biola FPA is actively connecting with Biola alumni who are working in the financial planning industry in order to establish a network of professionals. This network will help link those who are in the field with students who are interested in following a similar career path.

CFP Designation Information Session

For many graduating financial planning majors, becoming a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) marks the culmination of an academic career. The requirements for the examination can be difficult to understand. Luckily, Biola Financial Planning Association has partnered with different advisors and resources to help you find the best path to your CFP designation.

Club-to-Club Meetings

Biola FPA desires to partner with other clubs around Biola’s campus to coordinate mutually beneficial meetings explaining the benefits of partnering with a planner and how finances work for different career paths.
