Apply for Koppitz Child Psychology Fellowship
Graduate students are encouraged to apply for one of three 2007-2008, $20,000 APF Elizabeth Munsterberg Koppitz Fellowships in child psychology. The Koppitz fellowships aid child psychology scholarship on topics such as: developmental psychopathology, child-clinical, school, pediatric, developmental, and educational psychology. Consideration will be given to psychological research that breaks new ground or creates significant new understandings that facilitate the development and/or functioning of children and youth.
The award includes travel costs to attend a pre-conference workshop for Koppitz graduate fellows in conjunction with APA’s 2008 Annual Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, and other conferences as funds allow. APF will also award $4,000 travel stipends to runners-up.
Graduate students who have achieved doctoral candidacy are eligible to apply. Students can apply before having passed their qualifying exams, but proof of having advanced to doctoral candidacy is required before funding will be released.
The selected fellows’ institutions must provide a tuition waiver. Institutions may nominate only one applicant each year (APF will not accept nominees from separate departments or programs within the same university). Financial support will extend from September 1, 2007, to August 31, 2008. Results of the research should be presented at the pre-convention workshop.
Applications are due November 15. For complete application guidelines, visit the APF website at www.apa.org/apf/koppitz.html.
