Student Award Opportunities

The American Meteorological Society (AMS) Committee on Probability and Statistics will be awarding cash prizes for student oral presentations and posters at the 2020 Conference on Probability and Statistics, to be held 12-16 January, 2020 in Boston, Massachusetts. Three awards will be presented for student oral presentations ($250 first place, $150 second place, $100 third place). 

 

To be eligible, students must have indicated their willingness to be considered for student competitions when submitting their abstracts, must be either undergraduate or graduate students currently enrolled at a university, and must be the lead author of and personally present their work.
