About Scholarship

Sena Eken Schieber Economics Award grants scholarships to women from Türkiye, who are admitted to graduate programs for a Masters’s or Ph.D. degree in Economics at an accredited school in the United States. The scholarship is given in memory of Sena Eken Schieber. Several awards will be made annually to cover tuition and/or living expenses with the condition that the university will also offer the scholarship recipient additional support and the opportunity to work on campus. Students who do not receive matching funds from their schools will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the scholarship committee. The scholarship may be renewed for a second year for Masters’s programs.

Applications will open for the 2026–2027 school year in the fall of 2025.

Scholarship Amount:  The scholarship is for 1 year only. Master students can reapply to receive funding for their 2nd year of study. The renewal decision will be made upon the review of the application and the student’s good standing in the 1st academic year of the program.
