Student Awards
GW Ramsey Scholars
The top ten students across all of our classes are selected as Ramsey Scholars every academic year, and each student receives a $5,000 financial award. The program was started in academic year 2019 and the GW Investment Institute has awarded $250,000 to students to date. These financial awards are funded from a portion of the endowment payout from the GW Ramsey Student Investment Fund designated for the Ramsey Scholars program. The fund was launched in 2005 with seed funding from Russ and Norma Ramsey.
