Two dissertation research grants are given annually by Division 15. These grants are intended to support educational psychology doctoral students who are preparing to collect their dissertation data with small financial contributions. Doctoral students who are members of the division are eligible to apply if they have submitted or defended a dissertation proposal to their committee. Awards are given in the amount of $1,000 each.
Submissions are evaluated by the Dissertation Awards Committee based on the importance of the research question, match with Division 15 goals, and quality of the proposed methodology. Students submit a brief summary of their dissertation work and a curriculum vita.
