Post Graduate Opportunities
Dear EEA members,
We have received the following postgraduate opportunity from the Centre for Development Economics, Williams College (USA) that many of you may be interested in. Please follow the link to apply or request further information. DO NOT SEND ANY INQUIRIES TO EEA.
https://cde.williams.edu/
According to the message from the CDE, lack of funding should never prevent an interested candidate from applying as 100% of enrolling students in recent years have received full or partial scholarship funding from the CDE and/or other sources.
Finally, note that the deadline for applications of December 1 will likely be extended into mid-December next week so that candidates have time to complete the application, which does require several essays. Good Luck!

Welcome
