for doctoral students

Every year the Joseph M. Juran Center for Leadership in Quality selects and honors doctoral candidates whose research shows the most promise in broadening and fueling practices and thinking in the area of quality in their chosen fields. In 2009, the program was open to University of Minnesota and The Pennsylvania State University students.

The purpose of the Juran Fellowship program is to support doctoral thesis research and to recognize doctoral students who show potential to make substantial career contributions to the field of leadership in quality. Applicants are typically in the third or fourth year of their doctoral programs.

Since 1998, the Juran Center has awarded more than 50 Juran Fellowships. Many of those Fellows have gone on to teach at leading research universities, including the University of Minnesota, University of Michigan, University of Illinois and The Pennsylvania State University.
