Description
The Paul E. Henkin School Psychology Travel Grant is sponsored by the American Psychological Foundation (APF) and APA Division 16, the Division of School Psychology. It helps student members attend the APA Annual Convention by supporting registration, lodging, and travel expenses. The award supports convention participation rather than a separate research project.
The program emphasizes commitment to a school psychology career and the role of continuing professional development in advancing the field. Review considers applicants’ understanding of school psychology’s demands, research and application opportunities, alongside their scholarly accomplishments and potential. APF encourages applicants from diverse backgrounds, including diversity in age, race, religion, nationality, ability, sexual orientation, gender, and geography.
