About the Scholarship

Founded in 2021, the program began with a commitment of $1 million total, but is now expanded to $2 million. Students in good academic standing and currently enrolled as sophomore undergraduates, or first year Masters or PhD students, are invited to apply. Students will be selected to receive a $20,000 scholarship each.

Scholarships will be awarded to candidates who have the potential to excel as leaders and exhibit PIMCO’s CORE values of collaboration, openness, responsibility, and excellence.
