Regional Travel Grants

There are lots of good reasons to consider attending the EPA convention—especially if you’ve got some great research to share. Psi Chi encourages members to take advantage of the opportunity to go by offering regional travel grants. If you plan to attend EPA, apply for a Psi Chi travel grant.

Regional Chapter Award

As you may have gathered, the Eastern region of Psi Chi has some great stuff going on. Chapters throughout the area are doing important research, serving their communities, and generally behaving like model psychology students. Naming just one chapter to receive the Regional Chapter Award each year is tough, but if your chapter is doing outstanding work, apply! After all, you can’t win if you don’t apply.

Regional Faculty Advisor Award

Faculty advisors make or break the Psi Chi experience. If your advisor is "making” it for your chapter, nominate him or her to receive the Regional Faculty Advisor award.
