Deadline to enter for 2012 Awards is March 15, 2012
The Pennsylvania Psychological Foundation (PPF) has established monetary awards to be given to graduate students in psychology. The purpose of these awards is to help defray some of the many expenses incurred during graduate study that may not be covered by other stipends and scholarships.
Applicants will be judged according to the following criteria:
- financial need,
- academic performance,
- potential for service to the field, and
- community service and involvement.
Students should prepare a statement (two-pages, typewritten) that addresses these criteria and should note circumstances that may have presented a challenge to pursuing their graduate education. The Foundation Board of Directors will determine the amount of the awards ranging from $1,000 to $2,500. In determining the final list of award recipients, the Awards Committee will make efforts to assure that the group reflects ethnic and cultural diversity. Eligibility Requirements:
1) the award must be given to a graduate student of psychology who is enrolled as a full-time student
2) the student must be enrolled at a Pennsylvania institution or be a resident of Pennsylvania
