Diversity Fund Undergraduate Registration Awards

Applications for the Diversity Fund Undergraduate Registration Award are Closed.

The Society for Personality and Social Psychology has established a fund devoted to increasing diversity within personality and social psychology. As part of this initiative, eligible undergraduate students are invited to apply for an award that will cover the expense of registering for the SPSP 2012 meeting.

For the 2012 meeting in San Diego, California, SPSP anticipates making up to 30 awards.

The SPSP Diversity and Climate Committee will also host a reception for award recipients during the meeting (time and location to be announced). Undergraduate award winners are encouraged to attend this reception.

Eligibility Requirements

  1. Be currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree program majoring in psychology. Graduates of such programs currently working in areas related to psychology may also be considered for the award, though preference will be given to currently enrolled undergraduates.
  2. Be a member of an underrepresented group in social/personality psychology (these groups include, but are not necessarily limited to: ethnic and racial minorities; first-generation college students; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered students; and students with a physical disability).
  3. Not have received this award in the past.

Note: SPSP membership is not required to apply for a Diversity Fund Undergraduate Registration Award. However, you still need to have an SPSP Meeting Account (see How To Apply below). If you create a Non-Member Meeting Account to apply for an award and an award is not granted, you can join SPSP later to receive the member discounted rate for registration.

Deadline

All application materials must be received no later than October 24, 2011.
