About the Award

SPSP 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 travel awards to attend the SPSP annual conference. Travel award winners will receive complimentary registration to the SPSP Annual Convention.

SPSP is an international organization and will consider applications from students both inside and outside the United States. All applicants should explain how their participation at the conference advances SPSP's goal of enhancing diversity.

Selection Process

Award decisions will be based on the excellence of the applicant’s scholarly record.

Eligibility

Be currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree program majoring in psychology or be a graduate in the past three years of such a program and currently working in areas related to psychology.

Applicants must 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 and bisexual students; transgender students; and students with a physical disability).
Applicants must not have received this award in the past.
