The CSU Statistics Department has
sent a growing number of undergraduate and graduate students to summer programs
like those listed below. The students who participate have all returned very
happy with their experience and most have gone on to very good graduate schools
with full funding for school. There are also some great opportunities for
graduates students. The opportunities
are often paid and can often include free college credit which can be
transferred to CSU (for the undergraduate students).

link for information on internships and summer
programs. The graduate student
link has information on funding
for graduate students.
National Science Founation
REU: Undergraduate
Research Opportunities in Mathematics and Statistics. Paid summer programs
for people who may be interested in attending graduate school.
American Statistical
Association Internship Listing
Summer
Institutes for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS): The program also includes
free college credit which counts towards your degree at CSU. I highly recommend
these programs. A CSU student doing a math major - stats concentration went to
this program and got a lot out of it, including a job offer and an offer to pay
her tuition for graduate school.
Computational
Biology and Biostatistics Summer Research Program (CBB): This program also comes highly recommended
by a former participant. You can
either participate in CBB the summer after doing SIBS (see above) or as a
stand-alone program. Participants
receive a generous stipend for participating plus your travel expenses are
covered.

CSU's Department of Statistics has active graduate
programs at both the MS and PhD levels. We offer assistantships to qualified
applicants that cover tuition and include a monthly stipend to cover living
expenses. See this link for more
information.
Are you thinking about graduate school? There are some
great opportunities through the National Science Foundation where students get
their school paid for, a $30,000 annual stipend, and other perks just to go to
graduate school! See the NSF Graduate
Research Fellowship Program.
Students who are already in graduate school can also apply. These are great fellowships! Apply now! Get help from your professors!

student link has information on funding for graduate students. Other links have funding opportunities
for graduate students. For example
see the NASA link.
phds.org One of many rankings of graduate programs in
statistics and biostatistics. Note: since this site combines rankings for
statistics and biostatistics programs, it can be a little misleading if you are
only interested in one or the other.
