Pathways to Success
The Kautz-Uible Pathways to Success program supports economics and business economics students in the Lindner College of Business—beginning in their second year—through scholarships and mentoring. Scholarships are awarded to students with financial need, as determined by the University of Cincinnati.
​
To be considered, interested students must submit their applications through Scholarship Universe. The application window opens early in the Spring semester.
Abdou Ndao (BBA, '20)
Co-Founder of KU Pathways Program
"As a lower-income first-generation college student, when I initially walked into the Lindner College of Business, I did not feel like I had a community; I felt disconnected. I was fortunate to have met Economics Department Manager Toshia Watkins and Dr. Debashis Pal, who helped me find a community within the Kautz-Uible Economics Institute (KUEI).
Through UC's Department of Economics and KUEI, I found financial support, mentorship, and accountability—essential ingredients that allowed me to strive academically and personally.
​
I believe that any success I have achieved and will ever achieve reflects the investment the department and institute made in me. With the institute's Pathways to Success program, I get the opportunity to reinvest in the community that empowered me."
