Cultural and Linguistic Diversity Scholarship
The CLD Scholarship was established to assist in meeting the need for increasing the number of culturally and linguistically diverse school psychologists. It is the intent of the Foundation 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 California. The $1,000 scholarship is renewable for three years, or until the student graduates. Applicants must have progressed to the second year of an accredited school psychology program in California, and must be a member of a culturally diverse minority group. They are evaluated on academic competencies, oral and written communications skills, community involvement, commitment to working in the public schools as an agent of change, and evidence of the knowledge of the demands of the vocation of school psychology. Deadline: December 9th.
