The Society for Personality Assessment (SPA) has created scholarships opportunities to attend the 2026 SPA Convention and Workshops. This up to $1150 USD scholarship award includes a complimentary member early-bird rate registration, one night hotel, and up to $500 for reimbursable expenses (travel, additional registration fees, additional hotel, food).
Priority for the convention awards will be given to members who are presenting a 1st authored poster or paper at the 2026 convention, and those members who may otherwise not be able to attend the 2026 convention or an SPA workshop in 2026 due to finances. Note that an individual may only receive ONLY ONE scholarship to the convention.
SPA defines diversity applicants as a member of an underrepresented group in psychology (these groups include, but are not necessarily limited to, ethnic and racial minorities; professionals or students who are or were first-generation college students; members of the LGBTQ+ community; and people with disabilities).
All applications, including supplemental materials, must be submitted by November 23, 11:59pm (EDT)/November 24, 4:59am (GMT).
If you are planning on applying or if you have already applied for this scholarship DO NOT register for the 2026 SPA Convention until notifications have been sent out in December.
