Applicants cannot have previously won an SPSP Travel/Registration award (i.e., the Graduate Travel/Registration Award, the Diversity Graduate Travel/Registration Award, or the Teacher & Scholar Travel/Registration Award).
Applicants may apply for this award together with any other registration stipend for which they are qualified (see here for a full listing of available registration stipends). However, an applicant can receive only one of the stipends.
Geographic Eligibility
Applicants must reside outside of the U.S. and Canada at the time of the convention. The country of residence will normally be based on the location of the applicant's institution. Although individuals from any world region outside of North America are eligible to apply, applicants from underrepresented regions will be given priority in the evaluation process. For the purposes of this award, underrepresented regions include most countries in Southern and Eastern Europe; Asia, the Pacific Islands, and Oceania; Africa and the Middle East; and Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
Other Criteria
Graduate student applicants must be enrolled in a graduate program in psychology, and have research interests that fall broadly within areas of personality, social, or a related sub-field (e.g., political psychology, health psychology, cultural psychology, etc.).
Teacher/scholar applicants must teach and work primarily with undergraduate or Master’s level students, and have research interests that fall broadly within the areas of personality, social, or a related sub-field (e.g., political psychology, health psychology, cultural psychology, etc.).
