SAS Student Ambassador Program
Are you ready to become a SAS® Student Ambassador?
Are you a student or do you know students who are using SAS to conduct
outstanding research projects? Do you have a tip or technique for using SAS
that you want to share with the global SAS user community?
The SAS Student Ambassador Program is a competition designed to recognize
and support students who use SAS technologies in innovative ways to benefit
their fields of study.
Selected students are named SAS Student Ambassadors and will earn the
opportunity to present their project to a global community of SAS users at
SAS® Global Forum, April 22-25, 2012, in Orlando, Florida. SAS will pay
travel expenses and registration fees for the Student Ambassadors to attend
and present their papers.
Call for applications:

What are the benefits for students?
For students selected as SAS Student Ambassadors, SAS will pay all SAS
Global Forum 2012 travel, lodging and conference registration expenses.
While at the conference, SAS Student Ambassadors will also have the
opportunity to share their projects and interact with a global audience of
SAS users, including researchers, business leaders, SAS experts and
specialists from every industry and sector.
Who is eligible to apply?

apply to this program. Recent graduates may also be eligible to apply. The
