What is the National Psychologist Trainee Register?

The National Register is the largest credentialing organization for psychologists. The National Psychologist Trainee Register helps students build and maintain a credentials profile that complies with national education and training standards, and positions them for the National Register HSPP credential. Banking credentials helps students eliminate the arduous task of ordering official transcripts and searching for past supervisors later on in their career.

The National Register, in conjunction with American Psychological Association of Graduate Students (APAGS), has developed National Psychologist Trainee Register (NPTR) Credentialing Scholarships to help doctoral students and trainees become credentialed by the National Register. These scholarships are presented to doctoral students in psychology interested in becoming credentialed by the National Register through its student program, the National Psychologist Trainee Register (NPTR), but for whom the initial cost is a financial hurdle.

The National Register provides these scholarships to defray the $300 application fees for each recipients credential banking and review (to include the doctoral degree, internship, postdoctoral supervised experience) and registration fee to activate the recipients NRHSPP credential as soon as they are licensed.

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

Do you qualify?
