ASA Statistics Project Competition

The ASA Statistics Project Competition is an annual research-paper competition for middle and high school students to design and carry out original statistical studies. Participants submit a written report that presents a research question, data collection, analysis using core statistical methods, and conclusions. Projects are evaluated by educators and statisticians, and top entries receive cash prizes, certificates, and Texas Instruments graphing calculators.

Cash prizes for top winners, electronic certificates for awardees, and Texas Instruments graphing calculators for first-place winners; feedback and resources such as webinars and judging rubrics.

Open to students in grades 7–12. Students may enter individually or in teams (maximum four students per team); for mixed-grade teams the highest grade determines the entry category.

Submit the project and online entry form through the competition's online submission process.
