Distinguished Student Leadership Award in Clinical Psychology

Honors a graduate student in clinical psychology who has demonstrated outstanding leadership to the profession, within local and/or national organizations, including departments and universities. Leadership can be demonstrated by serving in elected or volunteer positions within such organizations, or taking leadership in the formation or development of new services or programs.

Recipients of the award will receive a certificate, a $300 honorarium and one free year of Student Membership to SCP (for 2022). The Division 12 Diversity Committee in collaboration with the Division 12 Education and Training Committee will determine the award recipient based on demonstrated excellence in contributions to diversity in one or more of the domains listed above. Each psychology department (i.e., not individual programs within a department) may endorse no more than one (1) student per year for each of the APA Division 12 Student Awards. If more than one student from a department wishes to be nominated for this award, the department must perform an initial screening and forward only one nomination.

Please submit nomination materials electronically to Education and Training Committee Chair, Dr. Allison LoPilato, via email.
