The Victorian Branch is offering financial support to its members for attending statistical workshops / short courses in 2021.
Current SSA supported workshops:
CPD130 SSA Canberra Workshop: Data Visualisation with R; taught by Prof. Di Cook and Dr. Emi Tanaka. Registration closes Friday 9th April. https://statsoc.org.au/event-4191172.
You can find these and upcoming workshops in the events list at https://www.statsoc.org.au/Events-listing.
We encourage you to take advantage of this funding to attend our workshops, but the funding may also be used to support registration for non-SSA workshops too.
This support may cover costs for workshop / short course registration up to the value of $125.
Applicants must:
Be members of the Victorian Branch at the time of application. (Membership is only $20 for students!)
Register, and attend, a statistics-related workshop / short course.
Applications meeting the following criteria will be prioritised:
SSA workshops/courses (ahead of any non-SSA ones).
Members without access to any other funding sources.
In addition, we will try to distribute the funding so that it is balanced with respect to gender. To help us do this, we would appreciate it if you would let us know your gender in your application.
You may apply more than once (e.g. if attending multiple workshops). However, each member will only be awarded at most $125 across all of their applications.
Please submit your application via the following form:
https://forms.gle/cUNniXNzRXHfH6M79
Applications will be reviewed on a monthly basis, until the allocated funding has been exhausted.
Applicants who are granted financial support will be notified via email soon after the start of each month, following their application.
Reimbursement for SSA courses will be handled either as a reduced fee for registration or a direct payment as a reimbursement. Reimbursement for external courses will be provided after the course date upon presentation of receipts.
