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.
It means a lot to receive funding — to have alumni who have gone through similar programs and put that trust into young graduate students like myself, saying, 'Hey, continue on this mission.' This gift really advances our careers and hopefully continues the cycle of excellence in research. There's a lot of weight behind these gifts, and we really appreciate it.”
Impact of Donor Support
- Donors expand educational access by aiding underrepresented students, who comprise 34% 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!”
