Dartmouth Economics Research Scholar Application 2020
We invite members of the Dartmouth Class of 2022 to apply to become a Dartmouth Economics Research Scholar (DERS).  

This DERS program provides additional mentoring and support in economics research to students with strong research potential and high academic standing.  Additional advising and out-of-class enrichment activities -- dinner discussions, workshops, and peer exchanges -- accelerate and enhance the DERS' coursework and enable closer participation with faculty on research projects.  Such participation begins with paid assistantships on faculty projects, but often evolves into research collaborations with faculty and independent student projects, including senior theses. The program also aims to prepare interested students for graduate studies in economics and related fields.  

If you are a Dartmouth `22 interested in applying, please fill out the form below by 8 PM ON FEBRUARY 7, 2020.  Decisions will be announced by the end of February.  We anticipate having space for about 15 students.  

Please direct any questions about the program or this application to DERS director, Professor Elizabeth Cascio, at elizabeth.u.cascio@dartmouth.edu.
