Student Eligibility:


We anticipate that we will be able to award a limited number of scholarships to eligible students.


To be eligible, a student must be:

  • A Student Member of WPA
  • Registered for the convention
  • The first author of the presentation

Apply for a Student Scholarship:

To apply for a student scholarship, check the scholarship eligibility box located on the abstract submission form. Recipients of these scholarships will be determined on the basis of masked review by the Program Review Committee. These scholarships are intended to help defray the costs of attending the Convention and presenting the award-winning research. Receipt of the monetary scholarship is contingent on the award winner attending the Convention and presenting the research. Winners (only) will be notified by email on or about February 10. The names of these scholarship recipients will be published in the Convention Program and checks for these awards will be presented at the WPA Awards session during the convention.
