2007-2008 Student Awards
The Canadian Psychological Association Foundation (CPAF) is very pleased to announce the winners of the CPAF Student Awards for 2007-2008. The CPAF was delighted to have received 50 applications for the award. Decision-making was challenging indeed because there were clearly so many more meritorious projects that we could fund. Five applicants were funded, each for an award of $2,000. The work of the successful applicants stood out among a cohort of very talented and accomplished peers. The CPAF extends its congratulations to the following successful applicants and wishes all applicants success in their research endeavours. The quality of the applications received clearly show that the research future of psychology is in very capable hands.
Please note that the awards were made possible following several years of fund-raising activity. For reasons relating to funding, as well as to the breadth of CPA's mandate, we likely will not be able to offer student awards annually.
