The Graduate School offers some other awards to outstanding students. These are awarded in the spring for the following academic year. Students who wish to be considered for one of these awards must be nominated by the Department of Economics, and they should contact the department's director of graduate studies. Remuneration is similar to that of a teaching assistantship, but no departmental service is required. Program Outstanding minority students who are U.S. citizens and are enrolled full-time in the Ph.D. program are eligible.
Tuition is waived.
Other Awards From time to time a variety of other awards are made available through federal, state, or private sources. The department makes a point of nominating qualified candidates for these awards.
