Are you interested in joining the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology?

If yes, but the application fee is a barrier, you should apply for a National Register Early Career Psychologist (ECP) Credentialing Scholarship.

Early Career Psychologist Credentialing Scholarships were developed in conjunction with the APA Committee on Early Career Psychologists. These scholarships help ECPs (within seven years of award of doctoral degree) become credentialed as Health Service Providers in Psychology by covering the cost of the credential review and registration fees.

Do you qualify?

To qualify for a credentialing scholarship, you must have graduated from an APA/CPA accredited or ASPPB/National Register designated doctoral program (see a list of designated programs).

Apply

To apply for a credentialing scholarship, please email the following materials to megan@nationalregister.org:

• A current CV
• An application letter describing your achievements and goals as an early career psychologist, as well as an explanation of how the National Register Health Service Provider in Psychology credential will directly and positively impact your career. Also include:
  • the name and email address of your doctoral program chair
  • your license number and state - to qualify for the ECP scholarship you must be licensed as a psychologist. If you are not licensed, indicate when you anticipate becoming licensed at the independent practice level.
• Request the National Register credentialing application

Upon the receipt of a credentialing scholarship, the award winner has 120 days to complete the National Register application and submit all relevant materials.

We have awarded 343 ECP Credentialing Scholarships since the program's inception, so don't miss your chance to join your colleagues and take advantage of this opportunity.

Credentialing scholarships are supported by donations to the National Register Scholarship Funds. We appreciate the generosity of all of the contributors.

*If you have already submitted the non-refundable credential review fee, the scholarship will apply only to the Registration fee.
