Awards and Opportunities

ENAR Distinguished Student Paper Awards

Awarded annually at the ENAR Spring Meeting, entries due in October of the preceding year.

Up to twenty Distinguished Student Paper Awards are given each year to assist students and recent graduates in presenting contributed papers at the ENAR Spring Meeting. Each winner receives a certificate, reimbursement for travel expenses up to $650, tuition waiver for one ENAR short course of choice, and an invitation to the Monday evening ENAR President’s Reception. The author of the most outstanding paper also receives the John Van Ryzin Award, which includes an additional $500 prize. Details and eligibility information is provided here.

ENAR One-Touch Mentorship

This program runs twice per year, once in the fall and once in the late spring.

Are you in need of mentorship? Sign up for a short session (one 30-minute meeting) to get advice on a specific topic, like graduate school applications, resume review, or interview preparation. Keep an eye on your email and ENAR social media channels for signup instructions! Note that this opportunity is limited to mentees with a current ENAR membership.

ASA Student and Early Career Travel Grant

Applications are due at least three months before the ASA conference for which support is requested.

The American Statistical Association (ASA) offers funding for students and early career statisticians participating in ASA-sponsored professional meetings (full list here). Both merit and financial need are considered when selecting grant recipients. Application details can be found here.
