In preparation for the 2017 APA Convention (Washington, D.C.) we’re pleased to announce the International Student Research Award. Please see the formal attached call for details (here) all nominations are due by March 17, 2017 (5:00 PM Eastern Time).

This award—available only to those who are studying at programs outside North America— will recognize outstanding scholarship from a student-led presentation as part of the Division 15 program. A total of $1,000 will be awarded, and is intended to defray international travel costs accrued while attending and presenting at the APA convention.

If you or a student you know is eligible for this award, please see the attached call on how to nominate work for consideration. Please also note that, while Division 15 membership is required for eligibility, we are currently offering a free first year for new enrolees (found here).

Those with questions may contact Professor Rob Klassen ([email protected]) for further details.
