Graduate Student Fellowships

Each year several Yale graduate students are selected for Annual Cowles Prizes, sponsored by the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics.  These awards are intended to reward excellent accomplishment and outstanding promise in the Yale University Graduate Program in Economics, to provide support for outstanding students that are in financial need, and to promote study and research in the spirit of the Cowles Foundation within the graduate economics program at Yale.  The amount of each award is determined on the basis of academic merit and financial need.  Recipients may use their fellowship support in whatever way they choose to further their studies and research, but are asked to submit a brief report at the end of their period of support.  The award program is administered by a committee of Cowles professors and the Director of the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics.
