Planning a career in statistics opens the door to many career opportunities. But first of all we need to know what statistics is? Statistics can be defined as collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of numerical data. A statistician can find job prospects in financial institutions, corporate multinational companies and private firms etc.
A statistician must possess good reasoning ability, mathematical aptitude, logical thinking and problem solving skills. Statistician can opt for various fields like econometrician, biostatistician, research analyst, biometrician, epidemiologist etc.
Wherever your degree may take you, monetary support may be required to pay for your higher education in statistics. Students who wish to study statistics can find these scholarship opportunities to add to their financial aid package. Below are some of the scholarships available for international and national students who want to pursue higher education in the field of statistics.
