UASP Minority Scholarship AwardThe Utah Association of School Psychologists’ Minority Scholarship was established to assist in meeting the need for increasing the number of diverse school psychologists in Utah. It is the intent of UASP to promote opportunities for the recruitment of school psychologists responsive to the ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the individual children who are part of the increasingly diverse population of Utah. The UASP Minority Scholarship also aims to help relieve the financial pressures of our minority scholars pursuing graduate study in school psychology. UASP will award one award of $1,000.00 to a qualified and selected minority graduate student of school psychology in Utah. The scholarship funds are to be used for graduate school related expenses (i.e. tuition, books, etc.) Candidate Requirements
