Omicron Delta Epsilon Student Awards
To implement its objectives, Omicron Delta Epsilon sponsors the
ODE Distinguished Economist Award
and two international competitive awards, the ODE Graduate Research Award and the ODE Undergraduate Research Award for ODE members, graduate and undergraduate students,
respectively. Also, each year there is recognition for active leadership
roles in local chapters by way of the Chuck Phillips Outstanding
Student Leadership Awards. Chapters can apply for grants of up to $1500
