You might want to consider applying for the Wayne F. Placek Grant! The scholarship is offered through the American Psychological Foundation and honors Wayne F.

Applying requires the submission of your online application, as well as a detailed research proposal. The committee will evaluate your application on its relevance to the Placek program goals, magnitude of incremental contribution, quality of proposed work, and the applicant’s demonstrated scholarship and research competence.
