Award in Support of Conferences and Workshops on Graduate and Postgraduate Education and Training in Psychology
BEA will award up to $10,000 per year in conference grants to multiple awardees; typical grant funding is $2,000 per conference/workshop. Awards must support organizations or groups of psychologists planning conferences and workshops intended to enhance the quality of education for faculty and/or supervisors who then will use the knowledge to train students, interns and/or postdoctoral fellows.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will the $10,000 be given to only one organization or is it split between several winners?

Can we contact APA for a consultation?
