The Statistics Division of the American Society for Quality (ASQ) has $7,500 in scholarships to support students who are 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 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. Studies must take place at North-American institutions.
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 should be downloaded from the ASQ website. Forms will be accepted until April 1.
Throughout the last 14 years, scholarships totaling $200,000 have been awarded to 34 students. Last year’s winners were Shilpa Shinde of Arizona State University in the PhD category, and Wade Henning of Florida State University and Kristopher Hoover of North Carolina State University in the master’s category.
