The Statistics Division of the American Society for Quality is offering $7,500 scholarships to support students who are enrolled in, or are accepted into enrollment in, a master’s degree or higher program with a concentration in applied statistics and/or quality management. This includes the theory and application of statistical inference, statistical decisionmaking, experimental design, analysis and interpretation of data, statistical process control, quality control, quality assurance, quality improvement, quality management, and related fields.
The emphasis is on applications, as opposed to theory, and students must attend a North-American institution.
During the last 17 years, scholarships totaling more than $250,000 have been awarded to 48 students.
Qualified applicants must have graduated in good academic standing in any field of undergraduate study. Scholarship awards are based on demonstrated ability, academic achievement, industrial and teaching experience, involvement in student or professional organizations, faculty recommendations, and career objectives.
Application instructions and forms can be downloaded from the ASQ website. Forms for the 2015–2016 academic year will be accepted until April 1.
Members of the governing board include Susan Albin, Lynne Hare, J. Stuart Hunter, Tom Murphy, Dean V. Neubauer, Robert Perry, Susan Schall, and Ronald Snee.
