Kaul Fellowships and Scholarships
With great thanks to the generous donations from the Ralph Kaul Foundation, the department is able to offer Kaul Fellowships and Kaul Scholarships.
Kaul Fellows: Kaul Fellows receive tuition waivers, are appointed as graduate assistants in teaching, and receive a stipend for 10 hours of work per week. Kaul Fellows often have 3.9 Upper Division GPAs and demonstrate strong leadership and teamwork skills. The total funding associated with an in-state Kaul Fellowship is over $29,000.
Kaul Scholars: Kaul Scholars do not receive a tuition waiver but do receive scholarship funding. The median Kaul Scholar has a 3.8 Upper Division GPA and demonstrates strong leadership and teamwork skills. Kaul Scholars receive scholarships up to $15,000.
International Students
Application fees cannot be waived. The Master’s in Applied Economics is a STEAM Program. The department awards up to three $1,500 Latin America-Caribbean Scholarships per year.
