Paul R. Pintrich Dissertation Awards
The Paul R. Pintrich Dissertation Award is conferred each year to the author of an exceptional dissertation in educational psychology.
The award consists of a plaque, a check for $500 and a program time slot for an invited address at the annual meeting. The recipient gives his/her address and receives the plaque and check at the APA conference in the year following the announcement, thus allowing a full year for the preparation of the invited address.
The Paul R. Pintrich Dissertation Award is given to an individual who finishes his/her doctoral dissertation within the previous two calendar years from when the award will be announced.
The dissertation must be in the area of educational psychology, broadly defined, and the proposed recipient must be a member or affiliate of the division at the time of the award consideration.
