Sasakawa Fellowships

Approximately six Sasakawa Fellowship Awards will be made each year to the most promising 3rd and 4th year economics PhD students in development economics. The fellowship awards will be allocated by the Sasakawa Committee, which will meet each year in May to determine the recipients of these fellowships in the following academic year.  These awards will be in the form of a full or partial tuition award to the Yale Graduate School, plus up to $2000 in funds for the purchase of data or other justified expenses related to the student's dissertation research.  The Sasakawa Fellows will receive priority in the allocation of office space for graduate students in the Economic Growth Center.  Recipients of these awards who are in their third year may request they be deferred to their fourth year, but they should expect their candidacy in the later year will be reevaluated as part of the competitive pool in that subsequent year. There are no applications for these awards.
