Minority Scholarship Program
The Maryland School Psychologist’s Association, (MSPA), became aware of the need for a more aggressive approach in relieving some of the financial pressures that are faced by our minority students pursuing school psychology training in the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia. Consequently, MSPA has established the Diversity Committee as a means toward addressing this concern. The Diversity Committee established a corporation, the School Psychologist Advancement of Minorities, Inc., (SPAM), to help in this process. SPAM has in turn established a scholarship program to provide financial support to minority students in school psychology training programs in Maryland and the District of Columbia. These awards were developed in response to our professional commitment to encourage promising graduate minority students to enter the profession of school psychology in the state of Maryland.
Applications and all supporting documents must be submitted to the SPAM's Board and postmarked no later than September 20th for the fall semester, and January 15th for the spring semester of the application year.
