2026 SQA Specialty Section Awards Application

2026 SQA Specialty Section Awards Application

Application Deadline - Tuesday, 20 January 2026, by 11:59 PM EST
The Specialty Section Awards are sponsored by the SQA Board of Directors. The value of the award is a waiver of registration fees for the SQA Annual Meeting held in the same year that the scholarship is awarded. Please note that this waiver does not include travel costs, Quality College course registration fees, or any special event tickets. The amount of the award is taxable, so a 1099-MISC will be sent to the recipient.

The selection criteria are as follows:
- Applicant shall be a contributing member of the Specialty Section(s) and may not be the current Chair, Vice Chair, or Board Liaison.
- Applicant may not be a prior recipient.
- Self-nominations shall be accepted.
- The application shall be submitted as indicated below and shall include a letter specifying the reason for the application and what is hoped to be gained by participation in the Annual Meeting. The application and letter must be accompanied by a current CV.
- Applicants may indicate financial need, but that is not necessarily a requirement for the award.
- Recipients are required to volunteer at the Annual Meeting (e.g., session chair, room monitor, registration desk) and/or provide a written report about their experience at the Annual Meeting which may be published in the SQA newsletter, Quality Matters.
