SPSP 2009 Diversity Award Applications

[Nilanjana Dasgupta]

The Society for Personality and Social Psychology has established
a fund to increase diversity within social and personality
psychology and to create a climate that supports and sustains a
diverse community.

As part of this initiative, the SPSP Diversity and Climate
Committee announces competitions for the Graduate Travel Award
and the Undergraduate Registration Award for the 2009 conference
in Tampa, Florida.

DIVERSITY FUND GRADUATE TRAVEL AWARDS

Eligible graduate students are invited to apply for travel
awards to attend the SPSP 2009 conference. Travel awards will
cover any conference-related expenses up to a maximum of $500,
including transportation, lodging, food, and conference
registration.

SPSP is an international organization and will consider
applications from students both inside and outside the United
States. All applicants should explain how their participation at
the conference advances SPSP's goal of enhancing diversity. We
anticipate making up to 24 travel awards. The deadline is
November 4, 2008.

DIVERSITY FUND UNDERGRADUATE REGISTRATION AWARDS

Eligible undergraduate students are invited to apply for an
award that will cover registration costs for the SPSP 2009
conference. We anticipate making up to 30 awards.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the
awards have been granted, but no later than January 12, 2009.
