Below, you will find a list of scholarships and awards available for our Psychology undergraduate and graduate students. Students are eligible to apply to more than one award; however, to maintain equity and allow opportunities for all students, students will only be awarded one award.

Applications open in the Spring semester. If you would like to apply to one of our scholarships, please e-mail your application and all required material to psycawards@fullerton.edu

For scholarships/awards without information on application procedure, Psychology faculty members will nominate students, who will be contacted with further application details.
