Department of Finance offers multiple student scholarships
As businesses face a major war for talent, we focus on attracting the best and brightest students. To be competitive, financial support has become increasingly important. Inspired by long-time department member Helen Dashney, we launched the endowed Finance Excellence Scholarship Fund.
The selection process is competitive, with a faculty committee reviewing the applications and determining the recipients. We list some available opportunities and hope that more will come online soon.
Finance Excellence Scholarship Fund
First awarded in the Spring of 2022, this scholarship awards $2,000 annually to rising juniors who major or plan to major in Finance. The successful applicant should demonstrate both academic achievements (minimal GPA and 3.2) and financial needs. Conditional on maintaining a 3.2 GPA, the scholarship will be renewed for a senior year. This scholarship was made possible by several generous anonymous donors.
Joseph R. Gatz and Sharon Scott-Gatz Endowed Scholarship Fund
Thanks to the endowment created by Joseph R. Gatz and Sharon Scott-Gatz, we award one or two scholarships of $1,000 each to Finance Majors. This scholarship is based on merit and participation in FI457/857 class.
Benjamin A. and Beth Hesse Endowed Scholarship in Business
Thanks to the endowment created by Ben and Beth Hesse, we award two scholarships of $1,000 each to Finance Majors. This scholarship is based solely on merit.
