RECOGNITION
Congratulations to Psi Chi's
Fifth Annual Scholarship Recipients
L
ast year, the highest opened Psi Chi email to our student members was the annual message about Psi Chi’s summer scholarships program. This came as little surprise; the scholarships announcement has consistently been one of the highest opened emails ever since the program launched five years ago. In summer 2019, 78 undergraduate students and 87 graduate students completed applications to receive one of sixteen $3,000 Psi Chi Scholarships. Of these 16 scholarships, eight are designated for undergraduates and the other eight are provided for graduate students. Specifically, their purpose is to help students pay for school tuition, institutional fees, required textbooks, and other educational expenses vital to their futures. We are incredibly grateful for the many individuals and organizations who, together, help us make Psi Chi Scholarships a reality. In addition to Psi Chi’s other pre-existing $400,000+ in annual awards and grants, it is exciting to be able to provide another $48,000 in scholarships this year. Over the past five years

EYE ON PSI CHI SUMMER 2020
combined, a total of $168,000 in scholarships has been awarded to deserving students! Thank you to all Give Back to Psi Chi donors (https://donate.psichi.org), Psi Chi’s Board of Directors, and our sponsors. So far, students of all types and backgrounds have sought out Psi Chi funding in order to help them advance their educations and careers. This includes first-generation college students, international students, and even survivors of natural disasters. We believe that each of these high-achieving individuals in well on track to become respected and important opinion leaders in their various fields of psychology. With the costs of a college education so high, it is no wonder that Psi Chi scholarships have become so popular in such a short amount of time. Congratulations to the 16 recipients* of this prestigious scholarship program. It is an honor to recognize their outstanding dedication to psychology and bettering their communities and beyond. *Three of the 16 scholarships recipients wished to remain anonymous.
