Travel Awards

Since 2001, the Diversity Fund has awarded over $100,000 in travel grants to help qualified graduate students attend the annual SPSP conference. To qualify, students must be enrolled in a psychology graduate program and must come from an underrepresented group in personality and social psychology (i.e., ethnic or racial minorities; first-generation college students; lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered students; and/or students with a physical disability). In the future, the SPSP Diversity Fund may also be used for other programs that enhance diversity within personality and social psychology.

Award Recipients

For biographical information about graduate students who have received Diversity Fund Travel Awards each year since the inception of this program, see the page of SPSP Diversity Fund Award Recipients.
