Graduate Student Handbook for Experimental Psychology, Department of Psychology (2025-2026)
Fellowship and Grant Opportunities
Fellowships and grants are available through the Psychology Department, the Graduate School, the College of Arts and Sciences, and WSU.
The grants and fellowships offered annually through the department are competitive, and serve to financially support travel to conferences and financially reward teaching and research excellence. The Department currently awards one teaching fellowship and 2-3 research fellowships annually thanks to the Marchionne Foundation. The department also offers Marchionne Summer Research Fellowships annually and offers conference travel awards annually.
Other opportunities for funding are available through several programs at WSU, depending on research interests such as the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research Program’s Graduate Research Grant Program and the Center for Cannabis Policy, Research, and Outreach’s (CCPRO’s) summer research grant program. See the document outlining possible opportunities in the Program’s Microsoft Teams folder.
Students are encouraged to apply to the WSU General Scholarship Application for other sources of support, and can search the Scholarship Database for other opportunities.
