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.
