Tuition is $75 for postdoc/graduate student APA members and $150 for nonmember postdoc/graduate students; $250 for APA member faculty and $500 for nonmember faculty.
Tuition covers course materials and some meals. Participants are responsible for lodging, transportation and other meals. Limited financial assistance may be available.

Singapore travel grant for scholars in applied psychology
APA has applied to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) for support to administer a block travel grant program for U.S. participants in the scientific program of the XXV (25th) International Congress of Applied Psychology in Singapore, July 7-12.
NSF and NIMH funding will be used exclusively for scholars working in areas that are central to their missions. At least half of the awards will be granted to investigators who are either students or within eight years of receiving their doctoral degree.
