2008 Conference

• 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.

If you are a student who uses SAS and you would like to attend NESUG 2008, you are invited to apply for a student registration scholarship. The application deadline is May 30, 2008.  Decisions will be communicated by June 21, 2008.

Ten Scholarship winners will enjoy:

• Complimentary registration to attend NESUG in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, September 14-17, 2008.
• Recognition as a scholarship recipient in conference materials and at the conference. In addition, five selected students will also have their hotel fees (room and tax only) paid as part of the award.

Selection Criteria for Scholarship Awards includes:

1. Submission of a complete application by May 30, 2008.
2. Status as a student in a degree-granting program, at time of application and at time of conference (September 14-17, 2008).
