                        APAGS ANNOUNCES NEW SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM


 The American Psychological Association of Graduate Students (APAGS) has
established the APAGS Scholarship Program, which will annually grant three
students monetary awards of up to $2,200.  December 15 will be the deadline each
year for student application for these three scholarships, and selection will ta
place the following spring.  The selection committee will be chaired by the APAG
Past Chair and will include the APAGS Treasurer and the Chair of the APAGS
Professional Development Committee, as well as one consultant from the APA
Board of Directors.  In awarding these scholarships, the selection committee wil
strive to achieve a balance between students primarily studying practice aspects
of psychology and students primarily studying scientific aspects of psychology.
recipients will be required to provide APAGS an accounting of use of their award

 Each scholarship requires the applicant be a member in good standing of APAGS
and enrolled at least half-time as a student in good standing at a regionally
accredited university.  APAGS officers, committee, and task force chairs and tas
force members are not eligible.  Additionally, past recipients of each scholarsh
are not eligible for consideration for that scholarship.

 David Pilon Scholarship for Training in Professional Psychology.  This award is
intended to promote training and education in the professional aspects of
psychology (with the intention that the funds support future training and
education rather than award previous work).  It is also designed to be used for
specific training program or opportunity so that an identifiable increase in
knowledge will result from the research.

 The Ellin Bloch and Pierre Ritchie Honorary Scholarship.  Each year, the APAGS
Executive Board will select a topic area (from a list submitted by the scholarsh
selection committee) that is an important social issue or its related to an
underrepresented group in psychology.  The topic areas will be selected at least
two years in advance, and applicants will use the award for new education or
training rather than previous work.  For 1992-93, the topic area is "Impact of
Managed Care on Psychology" and for 1993-94, "Psychology and AIDS."

 Scott Mesh Honorary Scholarship for Scientific Psychology.  The award is meant
to fund research and scientific study in the field of psychology.

 THE DEADLINE FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED AWARDS IS DECEMBER 15TH.  SEND ALL
APPLICATIONS TO THE APAGS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM, 750 FIRST STREET,
N.E., WASHINGTON, D.C.  20002-4242.
