Anne Anastasi Early Career Award

The setting in which the nominee has made the contributions (e.g., academia, clinical, government, industry) is not relevant.

This award endowed by the Fordham University Graduate School of Education and the College Board was established in honor of Dr. Anne Anastasi, a remarkable scholar and dedicated teacher, who from a very early age had a major impact on our understanding of issues related to testing, particularly test construction, test misuse, misinterpretation and cultural bias.

Award recipients will receive the following:

1. An invitation to make a presentation at the APA convention the year the award is conferred (presentation length varies by award).

2. A cash award of $200 to help offset travel expenses to the APA convention for the year the award is conferred.

3. An APA convention registration waiver for the year the award is conferred.

4. An honorary one-year membership to Division 5.

5. An awards plaque.

The first three of these components are based on the assumption that the award recipient will attend the APA convention in the year the award is conferred. If the award recipient does not attend the APA convention, the award recipient shall receive:

1. An honorary one-year membership to Division 5.

2. An awards plaque.
