The Norman Beery Memorial Scholarship was established by Susan Mayo to honor her father, Norman Beery, who was a veteran and railroad worker, and help first-generation college students like her. A first-generation college student is someone whose parent(s) and grandparents did not complete a four-year college or university degree.
The $3,000 scholarship will be given annually to a student enrolled in or planning to enroll in a statistics, biostatistics, or science (e.g., natural, social, computer) program incorporating statistics. It can be used to pay for any costs related to the recipient’s education such as books, tuition, and housing.
Preference will be given to undergraduate students and those with financial need.
