Providing more access to its educational offerings through increased institutional support is a core component of the school’s comprehensive plan to be the school of choice for professional psychology. These scholarships are designed to recognize diversity commitment, first generation graduate studies, leadership talents, scholastic achievements, service, and mid-career transitions. Unlike student loans, scholarships do not need to be repaid.
