Scholarships and Awards

  • APA Engagement Awards
    APA Engagement Awards support Psychology undergraduates completing hands-on engagement experiences within the local, national or international community. These awards were designed to provide financial support to students participating in learning experiences beyond the campus and classroom environments. Qualifying experiences include, but are not limited to, study abroad that incorporates an internship or research in psychology or a related field, unpaid internships or volunteer experiences in the local community, and short term service experiences. These types of engagement experiences enable you to extend your learning in psychology into real world settings.
