Department of Economics awards are sponsored by different endowments, but all award decisions are considered at the same time. No student will be awarded more than one departmental scholarship. Past recipients of any departmental award are not eligible to apply.
Each award recipient receives a certificate and the name of the recipient is displayed in the Economics Department. Each award also carries a cash prize of $2,000.
The application portals are now open and will close October 15th for two weeks for FS4U’s annual cycle management. You can begin submitting again on November 3rd through the final deadline on November 21st.
Winners will be announced the week before final exams. Application forms and log-in instructions for the FS4U website are posted at the bottom of this page below the award descriptions.
