Dear SSA ACT members et al., 

Please forward this to those who would be interested.

SSA ACT is inviting all its early career and student members to apply for financial support in the form of a “rego grant” to attend statistical conferences, workshops, visits to collaborators, and other related events in 2024, whether they be in-person or held virtually, and whether they be national or international events. Paid events organised by the SSA Sections, SSA Branches, or SSA Committees (e.g. the ECSSC 2024 conference) will be prioritised. 

Each successful applicant will be eligible for a maximum of $400 AUD contribution towards registration of an event. The funding will come in the form of reimbursement. 

To be eligible for the grant, you must be an early career or student member of the SSA ACT Branch at the time of submitting your registration grant application. Membership is only $20 for full-time students, so we encourage you to join! 

Application Details

Please prepare the following documents and submit a single PDF form containing:

1. A brief resume/CV of up to 2 pages;

2. A short document (of no more than 200 words) describing the statistical event you want the rego grant to cover, and why attending it will be beneficial for you and your statistical/data science career;

3. A description of the costs and amounts you would like to be reimbursed;   

4. A statement declaring any other financial support you are receiving. 

Please send your application to ssacanberra@gmail.com   

Applications will be accepted until the 31st of December 2024, or until the money set aside by the SSA ACT council has been exhausted. 

Outcome and show me the money!

Successful applicants will be notified by email as the applications are assessed. If you are successful, please send us relevant registration receipts/invoices by 31st December 2024, and SSA ACT will reimburse you up to the $400 amount.

Anything else I should know?

• Successful applicants should acknowledge the financial support of SSA ACT during any presentation/poster they make at the event, if applicable. They will also be required to contribute a short piece to be published in the Stats Matters newsletter discussing their experience of the event.

• If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email at ssacanberra@gmail.com. 

We look forward to your application!
