Two Paths to Fellow
There are two paths to Fellow status
in the Division. First, members of Division 35 who are 
APA
members but are not yet Fellows of APA, may apply for Fellow status
in APA through Division 35. They are known as "New Fellow"
applicants and must meet both APA criteria and Division 35 criteria.
Any member of Division 35 who is aleady a current Fellow of APA
may apply to become a Fellow of the division. These applicants
are known informally as "Old Fellows."

Current Fellows can be good resources for infomation about being
and becoming a Fellow. Letters from current Fellows are also required
for those applying for Fellow Status.
APA Fellow Criteria
APA criteria include:
(1) Five (5) years of acceptable professional experience beyond
receipt of the doctoral degree.
(2) Membership in APA for at least one year
(3) Unusual and outstanding contributions that have had national
or international impact in psychology.
Division 35 Fellow Criteria
Division 35 requires evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions
that have had national or international impact in the psychology
of women. "Unusual and outstanding contributions" with respect
to scholarly publications, for example, should include
evidence of citations. Leadership in Division 35 and other
psychological associations are also relevant. In
either case, evidence of accumulation of impact and performance
over time is required.
Process for New Fellows:
Applicants for New Fellow status in Division 35 will be evaluated
initially by the Division 35 Fellows Committee. Those receiving
a positive recommendation will have their applications forwarded
to the APA Fellows Committee for review and decision.
Process for Old Fellow:
Old Fellows of APA who apply for Fellow status in Division 35
are evaluated by the Division 35 Fellows committee, with respect
to the Division 35 criteria. There is no further level of evaluation.
How to apply:
Applications for Old or New Fellow status in Division 35 require
letters from three current Division 35 Fellows, as well as other
materials that are supplied or explained in the application packet.
Application packets (including required forms for
the applicant to send to her or his recommenders) are available
