Description
The Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) supports student-oriented professional meetings through its Regional Conference Grants. Funding helps host institutions offset conference costs and provides seed money for events that supplement local educational opportunities for graduate students and professionals. Conferences should serve a specific region and offer ample time for student presentations and student-oriented discussions of professional issues.
The program emphasizes student development and meaningful connections among students and between students and professionals. Supported programming may include workshops, meet-and-greet lunches, and professional-development presentations. International members are strongly encouraged to apply, and at least one conference spot is reserved for an AASP International Regional Conference.
