Scholarships for ECPs

Scholarship applications are due November 15, 2026

ECP scholarships help early career psychologists (within 10 years of degree) become National Register members by covering the cost of your first membership fee. Once a National Register member, scholarship recipients can apply for the HSP credential and access enhanced benefits. We encourage you to take this opportunity to start your professional involvement with the National Register. 

Eligibility for Scholarships

• Candidates must have graduated from an APA accredited, CPA accredited, or National Register/ASPPB designated program within the last ten years.
• Candidates must be licensed as a psychologist at the independent practice level.
• Candidates must have a National Register account and HSP credentialing application. Create an account here if you do not already have one.

Terms

• Scholarships are not awarded retroactively and will only pay for application fees not yet submitted. Paid application fees will NOT be refunded.
• Upon the receipt of a scholarship, the award winner has 120 days to complete the National Register credentialing application and submit all relevant materials (i.e., transcript and confirmation forms).
