Three CERGE-EI Students Awarded the 2025/2026 Alumni Excellence Fellowship

1 December, 2025

We are delighted to announce the recipients of this year’s Alumni Excellence Fellowship — Eliška, Jan, and Wenrui — three outstanding PhD students who are beginning their academic journeys at CERGE-EI.

Thanks to the generosity of CERGE-EI alumni, these fellowships provide crucial financial assistance, allowing promising economists to focus fully on their studies and research. For students at the very start of demanding doctoral training, this support can make an enormous difference.

The Alumni Excellence Fellowship is awarded to top-performing students—either new students ranked among the very best by the Admission Committee or continuing students who excel in their coursework and exams. By supporting these scholars, alumni help nurture the next generation of economists who will go on to make significant contributions to research, policymaking, and public life.

This tradition of alumni giving strengthens our academic community and highlights how graduates stay connected by supporting those who follow in their footsteps.

Congratulations to Eliška, Jan, and Wenrui on this. We look forward to seeing their work and achievements in the years ahead.
