Scholarships
Financial support for training in statistics, quantitative methods, and data analysis
The ICPSR Summer Program offers more than $150,000 in student scholarships every year. Our goal is to remove financial barriers to participation and increase access to statistical methods training for students of all different backgrounds. We are committed to providing the next generation of researchers with the skills, knowledge, and connections they need to do innovative, impactful work.
ICPSR scholarships (see list below) provide registration fee waivers to our General Sessions, a comprehensive methods training program comprising courses in statistics, regression analysis, machine learning, network analysis, longitudinal analysis, time series analysis, formal models, data visualization, and more. The Diversity and Miller Scholarships also provide on-campus housing and meals.
You must fill out the application form and submit all required materials through our scholarship application manager.
We will begin accepting applications for all ICPSR scholarships on Monday, January 27, 2025. The deadline for all ICPSR scholarship application forms and materials (including letters of recommendation) is 11:59 PM Eastern on Friday, February 28, 2025.

"The ICPSR Summer Program has contributed so much to my personal growth. Not only did I acquire new (and master existing) statistics skills but I also gained valuable connections, grew professionally, and found a community of scholars that inspire and support me."
