Students in statistics programs can benefit from participating in statistical conferences and other professional activities. To aid these students in their involvement, the ASA’s Quality and Productivity (Q&P) Section’s student scholarship program offers support to attend the Joint Statistical Meetings.
Looking forward to 2016, Q&P will offer up to three travel awards of $400 each for students enrolled in a graduate program with a concentration in applied statistics and/or quality management to attend JSM in Chicago, Illinois, from July 30 to August 4. Student applicants must show a demonstrated interest in quality applications, as evidenced by course work, research topic, or prior work experience. Applicants either presenting a paper or participating in a poster session will receive extra consideration.
Applications will be accepted December 1 to February 1, 2016. Visit the Q&P website for complete information.
This year, five $400 scholarships were awarded to the following students to attend JSM in Seattle, Washington:
- Ahmed Mohamed Eshebli, Missouri University of Science and Technology
- Richard Seymour, Air Force Institute of Technology
- Michael Lee Walker, University of Alabama
- Yandan Yang, Southern Methodist University

Recipients were recognized at the joint Q&P/SPES mixer at JSM.
