To be eligible, applicants must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and be pursuing a degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, or a closely related field. The application process is based primarily on a 500-word (or less) essay contest, where students are asked to describe how they plan to use a career in finance to create value for others and to highlight a personal experience that demonstrates wise management of money or resources.
Applications for the grant are due by July 15, 2027, with the winner to be announced on August 15, 2027. Interested students can find complete eligibility requirements and application instructions at https://lukejohnsongrant.com/.
