About this program

The Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy offers a portfolio of student grants and awards to support research, education, and professional development in psychotherapy, including named paper awards, diversity and international research grants, and small ($500) research grants for undergraduate and graduate students. Programs include the Donald K. Freedheim Student Development Paper Award, Mathilda B. Canter Education and Training Paper Award, Lillian Comas‑Diaz Student Diversity Paper Award, Jeffrey E. Barnett Psychotherapy Research Paper Award, a Diversity Research Grant for pre‑doctoral candidates, an International Research Grant for students and early‑career professionals, and student excellence awards in practice and teaching. Eligibility varies by award but generally requires current student status (undergraduate, graduate, or pre‑doctoral) or early‑career standing, submission of student‑authored papers or proposals, and, for some awards, a focus on diversity or international research and/or Society membership.
