Grants and Scholarships

Research Support

Our program offers opportunities to receive financial support to cover some costs of travel, research, dissertations, and more.

Psy.D. Program Student Conference Travel Scholarship

Up to $650 per year. Given the research opportunities students have within the department, opportunities may arise to make a presentation with faculty at a conference. This scholarship covers eligible expenses related to the conference if the student is working with a faculty member on the project being presented and helps make the presentation. Eligible expenses are conference registration fees, presentation materials, travel, lodging and presentation costs.
