Scholarships recognize and reward academic excellence and are not usually based on financial need. Economics majors may apply for scholarships administered by the San Diego State University Scholarship Committee and/or by the Department of Economics.
San Diego State University Scholarships are awarded each Spring Semester for the following academic year. Priority consideration for the following scholarships will be given to applications received by March 1st. Both current and prospective students are eligible to apply. For further information, contact the SDSU Scholarship Office.
The Department of Economics administers the Center for Public Economics (CPE) Scholarship Program. Applications are solicited early each Spring Semester with cash awards normally made during April. The competition is open to currently enrolled students with a concentration in economics and an interest in public economics. Annually the Center for Public Economics awards the $1000 Henry Cramer scholarship, the $300 Leonard Chadwick scholarship, the $600 Sidney Evans scholarship, the $300 Louis Freeman scholarship, the $600 Henry George scholarship, the $500 Walter Weiss scholarship, and a general $500 scholarship.
