In 2013, the American Statistical Association in partnership with the International Chinese Statistical Association (ICSA) created the Lingzi Lu Memorial Award in remembrance of Lingzi Lu. The first-year student in the statistics master’s program at Boston University lost her life in the bombing at the Boston Marathon in April of that year. She was an ambitious, talented, and vibrant student, who looked forward to a career as a master’s-level statistician. Through this award, the ASA and ICSA support the studies of similarly dedicated people who are in master’s programs in statistics or who have recently earned their master’s degree in statistics. The award provides up to $1,300 for registration and travel support to the ASA Conference on Statistical Practice, which takes place every February.
Award recipients are selected by a committee jointly appointed by the ASA and ICSA. To be eligible, applicants must be enrolled in a master’s degree program in statistics or biostatistics or have completed a master’s degree in statistics or biostatistics no more than two years prior to the time of application.
Please contact the committee chair.
