There are a number of online resources for you to explore to find out more about funding. In general, you may qualify for grants, fellowships or assistantships. Fellowships are similar to undergraduate scholarships in that you do not have to work for the money. An assistantship provides you with financial resources in return for service as either a research assistant or a teaching assistant. Research assistants work for professors doing things like running participants through experiments and doing library work.
Teaching assistants run labs sessions or teach undergraduate courses.
By the fall of your senior year, you should have identified the programs to which you will apply. Throughout this process, keep returning to the Psychology Department Resource Center for more information. For example, when it is time to apply you will need to pick up the Letter of Recommendation Request Form. We also have brief articles to help you write your personal statement as well as other resources that will help you get through the process.
