The Cox Scholarship, sponsored by the ASA Committee on Women in Statistics and Caucus for Women in Statistics, was established in 1989 to encourage more women to enter statistically oriented professions.
Two scholarship recipients are selected each year: one to a woman in or entering the early stages of graduate training (MS or Ph.D.) and one to a woman in a more advanced stage of training. Scholarship recipients receive a certificate and $1,000.
The committee also selects honorable mentions each year. Honorable mentions receive a certificate
Application is limited to women who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States or Canada and who are admitted to full-time study in a graduate statistics program by July 1 of the award year. Women in or entering the early stages of graduate training (MS or Ph.D.) are especially encouraged to apply.
