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 conference. To qualify for this award, applicants must:

1. Be enrolled in an undergraduate program in the Memphis area.

2. Have completed at least one year in their undergraduate program.

3. Be a member of an underrepresented group in social/personality psychology (these groups are defined as ethnic and racial minorities; first-generation college students; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered students; and students with a physical disability).

The award will cover the conference registration fee. Awards will be made when the recipient registers for the conference.

SPSP will also host a reception during the opening session of the conference. Award winners are encouraged to attend this reception.
