Applicants must be currently enrolled and in good standing in an accredited doctoral program in psychology or a related field. In addition, they must have demonstrated a commitment to a career with a focus on ethnic minority issues. Applicants should not have completed their doctoral program by the time they begin the fellowship.
Applicants should ensure that, if selected for the fellowship, their schedules would allow them to attend the SPSSI Summer Conference and Policy Workshop preconference (June 26-29, 2025), which SPSSI would pay for.
The summer fellowship is a full-time commitment and runs 8-12 weeks. While the timing is flexible, we recommend that fellows aim to begin the fellowship no later than mid-June (as most of Washington goes on vacation in August). The summer stipend is $3,000. The fellow also attends the SPSSI Summer Conference and the week-long APA Minority Fellowship Program Summer Psychology Institute free of charge.
SPSSI will reimburse the fellow up to $1,500 for travel/relocation to DC and/or living expenses in DC. (Note: The fellow will be responsible for making their own housing arrangements.
