The Dennis Young Graduate and Early Scholar Statistics Award supports an exemplary graduate student in statistics in honor of Dennis Young, a retired ASU faculty member and an accomplished scientist. Dr. Young was a pioneer in the development of the PhD and Master's degrees in statistics. He was dedicated to graduation education and served as adviser for more than 30 students over his 35 years at ASU. Your contribution to this award makes it possible for second-year graduate students to explore and excel in the field of statistics.
Impact of Donor Support
- More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
I believe ASU is a major life force in our community and I want to do my part to help it thrive."
