2023 Internship Travel Scholarship Winner
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 to the Next Generation Fund from the National Register, its members, and others who support this initiative.

I am so incredibly grateful for the National Register Internship Travel Scholarship. As a first-generation and lower-income graduate student, I have had to navigate and overcome many financial obstacles throughout graduate school independently. This scholarship helps alleviate the financial barriers of relocation for clinical training so that students can focus on learning as much as possible during such an essential and formative year.
