First-Year PhD Summer Stipend Prize for Graduates of the Economics Master’s Program Announced
The Economics Department is pleased to announce a new prize providing financial support for the top graduate of our Economics Master’s Program pursuing a Ph.D. at BU. This prize will provide a summer stipend of $5000 payable the first summer in the Ph.D. program. The prize was made possible by a generous donation from the family of an MA alumnus.
The recipient will be selected on the basis of merit by the Ph.D. admissions committee. All applicants to the Ph.D. program who have earned (or will earn before joining the Ph.D. program) an MA, BA/MA, MA/MBA (in economics), MAEP, or MAGDE degree within the three previous years are automatically eligible for consideration. For admissions in 2014-15, this means that an eligible applicant must earn his or her Master’s degree from Boston University sometime between May 2010 and September 2014.
