MSQE Scholarship Application | Master of Science in Quantitative Economics

This award is bestowed on a deserving student interested in pursuing a Masters of Science through the Masters of Science in Quantitative Economics (MSQE) program at the University of Connecticut. See a brief summary of the MSQE program below.

The application deadline is May 1st

The student should identify as belonging to a group that has been traditionally underserved by graduate economics programs, such as women and underrepresented minorities. We are also looking for students with the strong quantitative and mathematical skills necessary for success in an economics graduate program.

This scholarship amount equals the amount of graduate full-time in-state tuition and fees, for each of the three semesters of the MSQE Program, if in good standing and registered as a full-time student for that term.

For more details on the MSQE program please see: https://msqe.econ.uconn.edu.

Please don’t select out because you are not used to applying to graduate programs. If you feel like this is what you want to do, apply! We will read every personal statement and look for potential.

The MSQE is a three-semester professional degree offered by the Department of Economics. It emphasizes the development of skills in quantitative methods and data analysis, as well as the application of those skills to economic problems. It is designed for individuals who seek careers in public and private sectors including, for example, insurance companies, health care providers, and financial consultancies.

All scholarships will be administered by the Office of Student Financial Aid Services. Departmental scholarships and awards are posted in the financial aid system and are disbursed to the student's fee bill account. If you are a need-based financial aid recipient (loans, grants, work-study employment), your financial aid package may be revised as a result of this award. Cases where a scholarship is awarded late in the school year will result in adjustments to a student's financial aid. The OFSAS will work with the department to postpone the award to a future term providing the student is in attendance for the future term. If no adjustment is necessary and your fee bill is paid in full, you may be entitled to a refund.*
