Psi Chi’s Undergraduate Research Grants support original empirical research by undergraduate student members who lead their own projects. The grants help defray direct research costs and introduce students to the process of applying for and managing research funding. This opportunity covers the spring round, separate from the society’s summer and fall rounds.
The program seeks well-rounded applications demonstrating competence in and commitment to psychology’s best research practices. Alongside research funding, applicants experiencing financial hardship may request consideration for additional support for living and research-related travel expenses. Faculty sponsors of the highest-scoring recipients may also receive stipends. Psi Chi’s awards, grants, and scholarships are peer reviewed by volunteer doctoral faculty.
