Access Path to Psychology and Law Experience

  • The purpose of the Access Path to Psychology and Law Experience (AP) program is to increase diversity within psychology and law by increasing the pipeline of competitive graduate school applicants from groups that currently are underrepresented in the field, including racial and ethnic minorities, first-generation college students, LGBT individuals, and physically disabled students. AP is designed to encourage faculty members to recruit students from underrepresented groups into their research labs. It provides financial support for the students to obtain meaningful research experience and attend the AP-LS conference as well as other opportunities for mentoring and development. It is the intention of the Minority Affairs Committee (MAC) that many of the students in the AP program will apply for graduate training related to psychology and law and ultimately become professionals in the field.

  • Deadline: November 15th, 2019
