APF Graduate Student Scholarships
APF awards 13 annual scholarships for graduate student research:
The $5,000 Harry and Miriam Levinson Scholarship
The $3,000 Ruth G. and Joseph D. Matarazzo Scholarship
The $2,000 Clarence J. Rosecrans Scholarship

In 2012, APF will also be offering a $3,000 scholarship for a talented woman to help launch her career in the profession of psychology. This scholarship is made possible by the generosity of the Friedman-Klarreich Family Foundation.
In conjunction with the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology, APF awards nine additional $1,000 scholarships.
Review Criteria
The major criteria are related to the research proposal. Proposals will be rated on the description of the context for the research (a brief literature review), the clarity and comprehensibility of the research question, the appropriateness of the research design, the general importance (theoretical, applied) of the research, and the use of requested funds (with preference given for funds to actually conduct the research as opposed to tuition, travel, books, and journals). Secondary criteria are related to the student's background, including previous publications or presentations at conferences, awards won at the student's institution, the letter of recommendations from the major advisor, breadth of courses taken, and grades in courses.
