National Register/American Psychological Foundation Internship Travel Scholarship

These $1,000 scholarships are awarded annually to psychology doctoral students who will transition to an APA/CPA accredited internship in a new geographic location later that year. Applicants for the $1,000 scholarship are selected based on both their stated goals as a health service psychologist and economic need.

The National Register/APF Internship Travel Scholarship is funded through donations by the National Register, its members, and others who support this initiative.
