Juran Scholars Awards

for faculty at U.S. universities

 

The Juran Scholars Awards were created in 2004 to stimulate research that advances the field of leadership in quality. Specifically, the program seeks to encourage multi-disciplinary faculty interactions and company involvement, while addressing real-world problems.


The program is open to faculty at U.S. universities. The goal is for applicants to use Juran Scholars funds to conduct preliminary planning that will allow Scholars to seek larger grants from the National Science Foundation, other foundations or corporations. A panel of faculty and business practitioners review proposals. Award winners receive up to $10,000.
