Grant Program Helps New Professionals Attend Conferences

The ASA Section for Statistical Programmers and Analysts (SSPA) has a small grant program to pay the primary registration fees for section members who have recently graduated and want to attend an ASA conference.

To be eligible, you must be a current student or a student who recently graduated with a major in statistics, biostatistics, or applied mathematics. You must also be a member of the SSPA.

The conference must be an ASA-sponsored conference, such as the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) and the ASA Conference on Statistical Practice.

A maximum of 10 awards are authorized, and no person shall receive more than $500 during the calendar year.

If you are interested and plan to attend an ASA-sponsored conference soon, review the detailed eligibility requirements and application instructions on the ASA community website.
