The Australian Psychological Society (APS) has established bursaries to support Indigenous postgraduate psychology students in difficult financial circumstances. The bursaries aim to alleviate some of the financial concerns Indigenous students may experience in seeking to complete a postgraduate professional degree in psychology.
Applicants need not be members of the APS and must be able to demonstrate their Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage by confirmation in writing by the Chairperson of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander incorporated organisation.
Applicants must be able to provide proof of successful completion of four (4) years (or its equivalent) study in psychology that has been accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC), as well as proof of acceptance or enrolment into an APAC-accredited postgraduate coursework degree in 2012.
