2026 SPA Convention Scholarship- Early Career

The Society for Personality Assessment (SPA) has created scholarships opportunities to attend the 2026 SPA Convention and Workshops. This $640 USD scholarship award includes a complimentary member early-bird rate registration, one night hotel, and $150 for reimbursable expenses (travel, additional registration fees, additional hotel, food). 

Priority for the conference 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 due to finances. Note that an individual may only receive ONE scholarship to the convention.

Scholarship deadlines have been extended to 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. If you have any questions regarding registration, please contact us at info@personality.org. View all other scholarships here.
