2008 Minority Scholarship Program Recipients
About Our Mission
It is well known that pursuit of graduate studies is costly. For minority students already behind the "economic curve," graduate dreams are often deferred.
The NASP-ERT Minority Scholarship Program was established to ease the financial burdens associated with an extended academic career, and ultimately infuse the profession with a needed presence of diversity and cultural awareness. NASP supports our minority
students on their path to becoming a member of this worthwhile and
giving profession.
The NASP-ERT MSP is pleased to annually award $5,000 to at least one
qualified and select minority graduate student of school psychology. In
2007, we seek to award five scholarships of $5,000 each.
