Membership Fees
To send teams to tournaments the QDU needs money, which is why our club typically asks members for a fee between $50-$70 to pay travel to various tournaments. The amount of fees members typically pay is usually determined by the travel costs and reg fee of the tournament, whether they are going as a debater or a judge, ect. Members are also encouraged to pitch in about $25 each cover costs for big events, such as the closing of the house. This money goes towards booking accommodations, transportation, running tournaments and internal socials.
Financial Aid
The Queen’s Debating Union recognizes that financial barriers to access debate exist. As such we have a generous financial aid program for our members. Should you require financial aid at any point throughout the year, please do not hesitate to contact our treasurer or fill out the form linked below.
(financial aid form will be updated soon)
Reimbursement Form
If you have made an approved purchase on the club’s behalf using personal funds you are eligible for reimbursement. To be reimbursed you must fill out the below form, attach all receipts, and hand in the hard copy to the Treasurer. The President and Treasurer will then review and sign the form at which point you will be reimbursed. In the case of reimbursing Independent Adjudicators (I.A.) the Tournament Director (T.D.) will sign off on the form instead of the Treasurer. You will not be reimbursed until the form has been completed. Should special circumstances occur please contact our Treasurer for accommodation.
Invoice Request
If your institution requires a signed invoice for reimbursement purposes please email our Treasurer (treasurer@queensdebatingunion.org) who will respond in as timely a manner as possible.
