The Kautz-Uible Economics Institute offers scholarships and prizes to undergraduate and graduate students. Since 1983, the Kautz-Uible Economics Institute has awarded fellowships and book prizes to students studying Economics and Business Economics. For the 2018-19 academic year, the Kautz-Uible Economics Institute awarded more than $80,000 in total funds to students.

Undergraduate Awards

Awardees are selected based on a holistic evaluation, which includes strong academic credentials, a demonstration of an ongoing connection to the Economics Society, and a demonstrated interest in, aptitude for, and passion for economics. Review additional Economics scholarship information here.

Kautz-Uible Undergraduate Fellowships are awarded to sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduate students majoring in Economics or Business Economics. Undergraduate Fellowships, initially known as Hewett-Kautz Fellowships, started in 1983.

Caroline Kautz Book Prizes are awarded to freshmen and sophomore undergraduate students.

Kautz-Uible Pathways to Success Scholarships are awarded to undergraduate students who belong to groups that have been historically underrepresented among economics majors at the University of Cincinnati.

Kautz-Uible Prizes are awarded to students majoring in Economics or Business Economics.

Graduate Awards

Kautz-Uible Graduate Fellowships are offered to two incoming graduate students based their academic records. Each awardee receives $5,000.

Kautz Scholar Awards were first offered by the Institute in the 2015-16 academic year, and two awardees are recognized each academic year. Each awardee receives $9,000 and works on applied economics research projects under the supervision of an economics faculty member. No separate applications are required for these scholarships, and recipients are chosen from the pool of MA applicants based on their academic credentials and follow-up interviews.
