It is through the support and generosity of alumni and friends we offer to our Economics students graduate and undergraduate fellowships, scholarships and awards. Through the Department of Economics Gift Fund, we allocate funds for our greatest needs. These efforts include supporting our graduate students and faculty by sponsoring seminars and graduate workshops and supporting graduate student travel to participate in and present at conferences.
A few of our giving opportunities include:
- The Department of Economics Gift Fund, which supports the operation and advancement of the department
- The Promoting Achievement and Diversity in Economics (PADE) Fund, a year-long program that offers advising, academic support, and professional development opportunities for undergraduate students in the Department of Economics at the University of Maryland.
- The Roger and Alicia Betancourt Fellowship in Applied Economics, established in November 2006 by former doctoral students of Dr. Roger Betancourt.
- The Economics Undergraduate Studies Program Fund, which provides general support to enhance the department's undergraduate program.
