Students
Our philosophy
We empower our fellows to discover, develop, and deploy their unique abilities in a setting that encourages them to make meaningful contributions to today’s most pressing challenges.
In fact, we engage our students on every project we produce, and many of our papers are co-authored by our student fellows.
Learn by doing:
From your first day with us, you will be fully integrated into our research process. No one learned to ride a bike by watching others, and we don’t expect you to learn research that way, either.
In addition to working alongside our worldwide network of distinguished researchers, we will create opportunities for you to develop the hard and soft skills needed to succeed in business, public policy, government, and academia.
Individualized learning experiences:
You cannot discover, develop, and deploy your unique abilities through a one-size-fits-all model. This is why we have crafted individualized experiences that are tailored to your needs and interests. We will help you assess where you are and what you need to succeed, and then create a mix of one-on-one trainings, hands-on experiences, and small-group workshops to learn the latest research techniques.

Frequently asked questions
A: We offer fellowships for both undergraduate and graduate students. CGO Undergraduate Research Fellows need to be pursuing an economics or finance major. Graduate fellowship eligibility is limited to students in the Huntsman School of Business’s MSE, MSFE, and MDATA-E programs. Any undergraduate Huntsman School of Business program satisfies the eligibility requirements for the Amy Rees Anderson Academic Entrepreneurs program.

Being offered a CGO fellowship does not guarantee admission into a program.
