Description

The Student Development Committee of the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (Division 53) is pleased to invite applications for its annual Student Achievement Awards. There are two types of awards: Student Achievement Awards in Research, and the Graduate Student for Achievement in Clinical Practice.

Awardees will receive $1,000 each. Awardees will also be recognized on the SCCAP websiteopens in new window as well as in the SCCAP newsletter with a picture and summary spotlighting their work. Applicants must be a member of SCCAP to apply for these awards. SCAAP is free to join for students.

Eligibility

The research awards will recognize one undergraduate student, one early-stage graduate student (for students in the first three years of doctoral training or in Master’s programs), and two late-stage graduate students. We seek to recognize students who have made a significant contribution to the field of clinical child and adolescent psychology, primarily through work on a recent research project but also through teaching, mentoring, clinical work, and other forms of community engagement. Undergraduates will also be evaluated based on their academic achievement.

This award is open to all undergraduate students, and to graduate students in APA or CPA-accredited master- and doctoral-level programs. Students who have previously received another APA award for the same research project are not eligible for this award.

How to Apply

Detailed application information can be found on the Division 53 (SCCAP) website.
