Apply for child psychology fellowship The American Psychological Foundation (APF) seeks applicants for up to three $20,000 Elizabeth Munsterberg Koppitz Fellowships to support graduate studies in child psychology in 2005 and 2006. The Koppitz fellowships help nurture scholars in the broad area of child psychology, including topics such as developmental psychopathology and child-clinical, pediatric, school, developmental and educational psychology. The award includes travel costs to attend a pre-conference workshop for Koppitz graduate fellows in conjunction with APA's 2006 Annual Convention in New Orleans and other conferences as funds allow. APF will also award $4,000 travel stipends to runners-up. Psychology doctoral candidates and students soon to take their qualifying exams are eligible; students must present proof of their doctoral candidacy before funds will be released. The deadline to apply is November 15. Recipients will be announced on or after February 15, 2005. Financial support will extend from September 1, 2005, to August 31, 2006. For complete application guidelines, visit www.apa.org/apf or e-mail APF. Apply for international travel award APF seeks applicants for the $1,000 David International Travel Award. The award supports a young psychologist—a doctoral candidate or someone with no more than five years' postgraduate experience—who is interested in studying human reproductive behavior or population issues. Made possible by a donation from Henry P. David, PhD, the award will subsidize the winner's travel to an international or regional congress of his or her choice. The submission deadline is March 15, 2005.
