The David Pilon Scholarship for Training in Professional Psychology
This scholarship is intended to promote supplemental training and education experiences in professional practice (funds must support future training and education rather than previous work).
David Pilon was one of the founding co-chairs of APAGS in 1988. This $1,500 cash scholarship, named in his honor as appreciation for his initial work in launching APAGS, is intended to promote supplemental training and education experiences in professional practice (funds must support future training and education rather than previous work). The scholarship is designed also to be used for a specific training program or opportunity not otherwise available to the student so that an identifiable increase in knowledge will result from the training.
