Early Career Travel Award

ARP is dedicated to promoting students in personality psychology. With support from Hogan assessments, the Student Travel Award was created in 2018 to fund trainee travel to ARP or other personality science conferences. Because ARP is also committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion and to maximizing the representation of diversity within our field, the student travel award focuses in particular on funding students and post-docs from under-represented communities. These communities include, but are not limited to, ethnic and racial minorities, LGBTQ2 students, first-generation college students, and students with a disability/special needs.
