Clogg Award to Attend the 2009 ICPSR Summer Program, 4/8 Week Component

This message is an announcement of a unique joint activity from the Methodology section of the American Sociological Association and the ICPSR. These two organizations agreed to establish a scholarship award in honor of the late Clifford C. Clogg. Cliff was, of course, a major figure in quantitative social science research methodology. Somewhat less well known is that Cliff was a strong supporter of, and contributor to, the ICPSR Summer Program.

The Clogg Scholarship is a waiver of Program Scholar fees to attend the four and/or eight-week ICPSR Summer Program. The scholarship will be awarded to a limited number of advanced graduate students of quantitative methods currently enrolled in Ph.D. programs.

Application materials can be submitted electronically. The e-mail address for doing so is:
sumprog@icpsr.umich.edu

Please be sure to put "CLOGG SCHOLARSHIP AWARD (SOCIOLOGY)" in the subject line of the message.

Hard-copy applications for the award also can be mailed to:
Clogg Scholarship Award (Sociology)
ICPSR Summer Program
P.O. Box 1248
Ann Arbor, MI 48106

In either case, an Application should include:

1. A completed Summer Program application form, submitted through the online registration system on the Summer Program web site.
2. A Vita
3. A cover letter from the student explaining why he/she wants to attend the program and how doing so will aid in completion of the Ph.D.
4. Two faculty letters (at least one of whom should be a member of the Methodology section of the American Sociological Association) endorsing the student
