Click the “Apply Now!” button above or look under the Opportunities → Ours tab to complete the Economics Undergraduate Application.
The applications process opens in early Fall 2022. Applications are due in early October and the Department of Economics will contact you via email if you are selected as a recipient.
When you apply to the Economics General Scholarship application, your application will apply to all the Economics scholarships that you are eligible for; you will not need to apply to individual Economics scholarships.
In order to be eligible for a scholarship, students must have at least one semester remaining after the semester in which they apply. Students are only eligible if they are graduating in Spring 2023 or later.
All scholarship recipients are expected to attend the scholarship celebration on November 17. Family and friends are also welcome to attend.
