The Statistics Division of the American Society for Quality has $7,500 scholarships available to support students enrolled in, or accepted into, a master’s degree or higher program with a concentration in applied statistics, statistical engineering, 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, though the emphasis should be on application, rather than theory. Studies must take place at US or Canadian institutions, and both online and in-class programs are included.
So far, scholarships totaling more than $375,000 have been awarded to 65 students.
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.
Review the application instructions and apply by June 15. Questions may be emailed to Mark Vandeven.
Scholarship winners for 2024 are Valeria Ovalle Ocampo of the University of Illinois Chicago in the MS category and Luke Hagar of the University of Waterloo in the PhD category.
