Applications are being accepted for the Edward C. Bryant Scholarship for an Outstanding Graduate Student in Survey Statistics until March 1. One scholarship recipient is selected annually and receives a certificate and cash prize of $2,500.

Selection of the scholarship recipient is made by the ASA Bryant Scholarship Award Committee based on the following criteria:

• Potential to contribute to survey statistics
• Applied experience in survey statistics
• Performance in graduate school

Westat established the Edward C. Bryant Scholarship Trust Fund in 1995 to honor its cofounder and chair emeritus and help support a student’s graduate education.

Under Bryant’s leadership, Westat—an employee-owned statistical firm established in 1961—has grown into one of the world’s leading statistical research corporations serving federal, state, and local governments, as well as businesses and foundations.
