    Hi All,

    Application for the Natrella Scholarship is open to any student who is currently pursuing a master's or doctoral degree full-time in an accredited college or university and has not previously received a Natrella Scholarship. 

    The student must have a demonstrated interest in quality applications as evidenced by course work, research topic, prior work experience, etc. Applicants should be prepared to make a presentation of their research work at the 2016 Quality and Productivity Research Conference.

    In addition to the application form, abstract, and transcripts provided by the student, two letters of reference are also required. At least one of the individuals providing a letter of reference must be affiliated with the applicant’s current academic institution, such as a major professor or academic advisor. Reference letters should be sent under separate cover.

    Applicants will receive equal consideration regardless of age, color, country of origin, country  of residence, creed, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, military status, race, or sexual orientation.

    Thanks,

    Will
