ASA Sections Offer Student Paper Awards 

Many ASA sections sponsor student paper competitions to reward gifted students and help them mitigate the costs of attending Joint Statistical Meetings, which is an opportunity for students to get involved in the profession by presenting at the meetings. 

Students can submit papers for awards from up to two sections; however, they cannot accept more than one prize. 

Papers are due to the sections’ award committees by November 15. Winners will be contacted by January 15, 2025. Winners must submit their abstracts via the JSM website by February 3. Some sections schedule their student paper award winners in one JSM session, while others match each winner’s topic with a similarly themed session. 

Each section’s award program varies in the submission requirements and what the winners receive. Find out which sections sponsor student paper competitions and get links for more information.
