The American Board of Professional Psychology Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of our 2024 scholarships. The scholarships are made available to individuals who are applying for their initial board certification. Funding for the scholarships is made available through the generous donations of individual ABPP specialists like yourself, the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC), and the ABPP Board of Trustees. The scholarship funds are provided to assist—and in most instances cover—the costs associated with becoming board certified. Information about the Foundation and its scholarships is available on the ABPP website.
We encourage you to support the ABPP Foundation and our applicants for board certification by making a donation of $25 to $50 dollars (or more) to the Foundation. Donations can be made securely online via credit card at Donate Now! – ABPP or by sending a check made payable to ABPP Foundation, 600 Market Street, #5, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 27516.
