GW Investment Institute Awards $50,000 to 10 GW Ramsey Scholars

For the fourth year in a row GW Investment Institute awarded 10 top performing students with the designation of GW Ramsey Scholar and $5,000 each. 

To be considered for the GW Ramsey Scholars award, student need to fulfill the following award criteria:

  • Enroll in and successfully complete one of the GW Investment Institute associated courses, i.e., Ramsey Student Investment Fund, Phillips Student Investment Fund, Real Estate Student Investment Fund, and/or the Quant Income Student Fund.
  • Both undergraduates and graduates are eligible.
  • Academic performance in class.
  • Leadership outside of class, general dedication to learning, working well with their teams and being a positive force for others.

The program is possible thanks to the generous gift from Russ and Norma Ramsey of $1 million back in 2005 that established the GW Ramsey Student Investment Fund (GW RSIF). The GW RSIF is managed by GW graduate students and a portion of the payout is allocated towards GW Ramsey Scholars program. So far 40 GW students have been designated as GW Ramsey Scholars program and with $200,000 in awards!
