Awards
The Department of Economics is committed to supporting student success through a range of scholarships, bursaries, and awards. These financial supports are designed to recognize academic excellence, respond to financial need, and encourage outstanding achievements and experiences beyond the classroom.
The scholarship year runs from May 1 to April 30, and you should be aware that some of these opportunities require an internal application to the Department of Economics. In such cases, it is important to review the eligibility criteria and application timelines carefully to ensure timely and complete submissions.
