Scholarships for attending the ICPSR Summer Program
The ICPSR Summer Program offers several fee-waiver scholarships to support graduate students who want to participate in one or both of the Summer Program's four-week sessions. Unfortunately, there are no scholarships or fee waivers that support participation in the Summer Program's three- to five-day statistical workshops.
The ICPSR Summer Program scholarships are targeted toward specific substantive fields and academic disciplines. Apart from these specialized awards, ICPSR does not offer any generic forms of financial assistance to support individual participation in the Summer Program.
The selection process for each scholarship is highly competitive. Unless stated otherwise in a specific scholarship description, preference is given to relatively advanced Ph.D. students who are focusing on methodology and statistical analysis.
Applications should be responsive to the objectives and requirements of the respective scholarships. Please be sure to read the descriptions very carefully. Unless stated otherwise, the deadline for all Summer Program scholarships is 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time, Monday, May 14, 2012.
We wish you good luck and great success in your search for funding to participate in the 2012 ICPSR Summer Program. And, of course, we hope to see you in Ann Arbor this summer!

Along with the preceding scholarships offered by ICPSR, there are several scholarships offered by other organizations to support participation in the ICPSR Summer Program:
The program on Empirical Implications of Theoretical Models (EITM) offers EITM Certification Scholarships to support participation in the ICPSR Summer Program. Scholarship recipients receive certification in formal theory or statistical methods, and attend the EITM Summer Institute during the following year. For further information, visit the EITM Web site.
The Society for Political Methodology offers the Janet Box-Steffensmeier Scholarship for female graduate students and the John A. Garcia Scholarship for minority graduate students. Each of these scholarships provides fee waivers for participating in the ICPSR Summer Program's four-week sessions. Further information about these scholarships as well as contact information for the Selection Committee can be found on the Society for Political Methodology Web site.
Please note that ICPSR does not administer any of the preceding three scholarships. Interested applicants should contact the respective sponsoring organizations for further information about the EITM Certification Scholarships, the Janet Box-Steffensmeier Scholarships and the John A. Garcia Scholarships, including eligibility criteria, application procedures, and deadlines for applications.
Finally, any scholarship recipients who have already paid Summer Program registration fees (in order to receive the early payment discount) will have their fee payments refunded as soon as possible after they are informed that they have received the scholarship.
