The first scholarship aims to foster the professional pipeline of operations research, management science, and analytics researchers by providing undergraduate students an opportunity to experience these exciting fields and gain professional development opportunities by attending the annual meeting.
The second, will support INFORMS membership and Annual meeting travel for students who have successfully implemented outreach programs at their academic institutions. This applies to both undergraduate and graduate students, with nominations allowed from the students themselves or their schools. The goal is to provide a platform for showcasing their outreach achievements at the INFORMS Annual Meeting.
Scholarships will provide travel and registration reimbursements up to $1,500.
We encourage self-nominations from undergraduate students across a variety of quantitative disciplines, including (but not limited to): mathematics, engineering, computer science, statistics, business, and economics.
The awardees of both scholarships will be provided with a recommended schedule to help them enjoy and learn from the conference and other scholarship winners. Specific activities may include:
- Meeting with ambassador graduate students
- Meetings with committee members and INFORMS Staff
- Attending plenaries, selected talks/posters, and tutorials
- Attending new member breakfast
- Attending INFORMS Welcome Reception
