  • Are you a student using SAS in your research or coursework?
  • Are you interested in networking with other SAS users?
  • Would you like to enhance your SAS skills?

The NorthEast SAS Users Group (NESUG) Conference is an educational event that encourages knowledge sharing among SAS users in the northeastern United States. This year, NESUG and SAS plan to award conference registration scholarships to selected students who are using SAS in their coursework or research.

NESUG recognizes and values the unique insight and perspective that can only be offered by institutions of higher learning.  We hope that you will consider supplementing your scholarship application with a written paper that describes your experience with SAS, whether it be a technical tip that helped you organize or analyze your data, how you used SAS to run your analyses and answer a research problem, or any other use of SAS. 

If you’re interested in this opportunity to improve your public speaking and professional writing as well as adding a publication to your resume, then submit an abstract of 50 – 250 words and submit it using the Call for Papers application. The deadline for submitting an abstract was April 22, 2011.  

The scholarship application deadline was May 15, 2011.  Decisions for both scholarship acceptance and abstract acceptance will be communicated by the week of June 1, 2011.

Scholarship winners will enjoy:

  • Complimentary registration to attend NESUG in Portland, Maine, September 11-14, 2011.
  • Recognition as a scholarship recipient in conference materials and at the conference.
  • A select number of scholarships may also cover some costs for travel and/or accommodations. These costs for other scholarships are not covered and are the responsibility of the student.

Selection Criteria for Scholarship Awards includes:

  1. Submission of a complete application by May 15, 2011.
  2. Status as a student in a degree-granting program, at time of application and at time of conference (September 11-14, 2011).
  3. Use of SAS software for research or studies.
  4. Participation in NESUG 2011 as a presenter or volunteer.*

* Scholarship recipients are not required to present a paper, but preference is given to those willing to help at the conference - registration desk, session coordinator, etc.

NOTE: All student scholarships include registration, admission to receptions and breaks at NESUG 2011.
