Research Funding

The Simon and Eve Colin Creativity Award in Psychology is presented annually to the outstanding undergraduate psychology major about to begin the senior year. The recipient receives a stipend of up to $2,500 to fund an independent research project to be undertaken with a faculty member in the senior year.

The Herman A Witkin Undergraduate Scholar Award for Creativity is awarded to an inspired, innovative, and extraordinary undergraduate student for his or her pursuit of research in psychology.
