The Statistics Division of the American Society for Quality is offering $7,500 scholarships to support students enrolled in or accepted into 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 decision-making, experimental design, analysis and interpretation of data, statistical process control, quality control, quality assurance, quality improvement, quality management, and related fields. Studies must take place at US or Canadian institutions; online programs are excluded.
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.
During the last 20 years, scholarships totaling more than $300,000 have been awarded to 54 students. Last year’s scholarship winners are Ruth Sirkin of North Carolina State University in the MS category and Claire Kelling of The Pennsylvania State University in the PhD category.
Application instructions and forms can be downloaded from the statistics division website. Forms for the 2018–2019 academic year will be accepted until April 1. For more information, contact Lynne B. Hare.

Hi there,
I am a current Master’s student at Dartmouth studying Biomedical Data Science. Does this major qualify for the scholarship?
Thank you!
