A $1,000 Scholarship to Support the Transition to Internship

The National Register of Health Service Psychologists and the American Psychological Foundation (APF) are pleased to announce the new Internship Travel Scholarship.

Supporting Interns in 2023 and Beyond

We need more health service psychologists, but graduate study is increasingly unaffordable.

These scholarships are funded through donations by the National Register, its members, and others. In the initial year, we will award sixty (60) $1,000 scholarships. If the fund can attract sufficient donors, we will expand this program to accommodate more students in 2023 and beyond. 

Will you help us support more students in 2023?

About the Internship Travel Scholarship

Applicants for the $1,000 scholarship will be selected based on both their stated goals as a health service psychologist and economic need. More information about the travel scholarship is located on APF’s website.
