SUPC Educational Advancement Award

The Stanford Undergraduate Psychology Conference has a long history of supporting psychological science at the high school level. Since its inception in 2001, for example, the conference has donated up to $1,000 annually to an underserved high school or high school-related program in the United States. These monies come in the form of the SUPC Educational Advancement Award, and they have been used to purchase new academic materials, such as textbooks and audio visual equipment, and to support psychology-related educational programming initiatives.

Teachers from any high school, from anywhere in the United States, are encouraged to apply for the SUPC Educational Advancement Award if they have a compelling reason for requesting the support. Applications are very short and are judged with respect to the creativity of the proposed initiative, the potential for the initiative to impact students' educational advancement, and the specific needs of the school/program.

Award Application

The application date for the 2015 award will be Thursday, April 30, 2015. Applications must be submitted online using the SUPC Educational Advancement Award Submission Form.
