Request For Applications, Due Monday, March 11, 2019 by 5PM Eastern Time. Applications should be emailed to carlsoj@msu.edu

The purpose of the Society of School Psychology Dissertation Grant Awards is to promote excellence in research training in school psychology, thereby enhancing the capability of students to pursue a productive research career that advances the science of school psychology.  Although not all quality proposals submitted can be funded, each student will receive feedback intended to contribute to the student’s enthusiasm for and competence in research.

Doctoral students who are matriculated in school psychology programs in the United States or Canada are eligible.  In addition, doctoral students who are in a combined program are eligible, contingent on evidence from an advisor that the student’s emphasis is clearly in school psychology and not other aspects of the combined program.  Evidence of a student’s emphasis in school psychology is likely to include an advisor’s statement that the student is enrolled in the school psychology “track,” inclusion on the dissertation committee of faculty whose primary appointment is in school psychology, the student’s membership in school psychology professional organizations, and the student’s or advisor’s record of publications in school psychology journals. Finally, doctoral students who are mentored by a member of SSSP are also eligible.
