Description

About the Award

SPSP has established a fund devoted to increasing diversity within personality and social psychology. As part of this initiative, eligible graduate students are invited to apply for travel awards to attend the SPSP annual conference. Travel award winners will receive $500 to be used to cover conference-related expenses, including transportation, lodging, food, and conference registration. Additional Honorable Mention recipients may be honored with a lesser award amount.

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.

The SPSP Diversity and Climate Committee will also host a reception for award recipients during the conference (time and location to be announced). Award winners are required to attend this reception, where they will have the opportunity to meet with an admired scholar in social and personality psychology of their own choosing.

Students who have not previously received a travel award may apply for both a Diversity Fund Travel Award and a Graduate Student Travel Award in the same year. A student will only be selected to receive one of the awards.

Selection Process

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

Eligibility

Applicants for the award are required to be SPSP members.
Applicants must be enrolled in a graduate program with an emphasis in social/personality psychology at the time of the convention.
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 cannot have previously won an SPSP Graduate Student Travel Award or an SPSP Diversity Fund Graduate Travel Award.

How to Apply

Submision Requirements

A current vitae (CV)
Presentation abstract for a submitted conference presentation (poster, symposia or data blitz). This is not a requirement, but priority may be given to students presenting at the conference.
A 250-word essay in which you describe your research interests, career goals, and how you would benefit from a Diversity Fund Graduate Student Travel Award

How to Submit

Submissions for the 2019 convention will be taken from July 9 - 24.
