American Psychological Foundation Graduate Student Scholarships

The American Psychological Foundation and the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology offer more than 21 scholarships for graduate students conducting research in psychology. The purpose of the scholarship program is to assist graduate students of psychology with research costs associated with the master's thesis or doctoral dissertation. The American Psychological Association Science Directorate administers the granting of the scholarships. Each graduate department of psychology that is a member of COGDOP may submit nominations, with the number of allowed candidates depending on the total enrollment in the graduate program. Departments with 100 or fewer students may nominate one candidate; departments with 101-200 students may nominate up to two candidates; and departments with more than 200 students may nominate up to three candidates. Nominees must be currently enrolled in the graduate program at the time grants are awarded.
