Learn more about your impact
Each year, the Department of Psychology awards merit-based and need-based scholarships to its most deserving students, supporting those pursuing degrees in psychology and neuroscience. These scholarships are designed to reduce financial barriers and provide crucial funding to augment the studies of our students.
In addition, this fund supports graduate students grappling with the impacts of inflation and the limits of graduate funding, aiming to alleviate distress associated with very real financial burdens and help students succeed. Join us in empowering the next generation of psychology and neuroscience leaders.
When I received my award, I felt relieved. It made the financial stress for both me and my family way less complicated. I can now stop worrying about working extra hours or worrying about how to save the best I can and focus on my studies...This award has given my family and me the support and validation of knowing we are not alone in this journey and that our efforts are being recognized. To the donors who have made this award possible, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your generosity is helping me pursue my dreams.”
Impact of donor support
- Donors expand educational access by aiding underrepresented students, who comprise 35% of psychology and neuroscience students in the department.
- Thanks to donor support, the department awards between $6-10K annually in merit-based scholarships to undergraduate students.
- Donor contributions provide crucial financial support for graduate students facing financial challenges.
Receiving funding from donors and alumni is such an honor. It signals support and care to undergraduates, which does not go unnoticed. Not only do these gifts offer levels of financial stability, but they also push us to power through obstacles because someone believes in us!”
