How to Apply

The School Psychology Program faculty are very active at seeking and receiving grant support. These grants serve to facilitate both the research and training agenda of the program. As a result, all students in the program at both doctoral and specialist levels last year were financially supported. Most of the support included both tuition and stipend for students who were on-campus. Continuation of this level of support is anticipated for the upcoming year as well.

Recently, we've received 2 new grants;Monitoring Progress in Pennsylvania Pupils (MP3) and Early Reading First Program Evaluation:Community Services for Children/Headstart.

Listed below are some of the projects on which current students are supported:
