Australian Psychological Society Prize in Psychology
A prize of $300 plus a letter from the APS president that recognises excellence is awarded to the student who gains first place at the end of either an APS accredited course in psychology of four years duration leading to a single qualification or an APS accredited fourth-year course in psychology comprising the equivalent of one year of full-time study. One APS Prize in Psychology will be given at each institution that has independent membership of the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee and has APS accredited courses of the above type(s). Recipients of the prize will have their processing fee for application for associated membership of the APS waived if they make application within twelve months of completing their course of study in psychology. Recipients will also have their conference registration fee paid by the society if they present a paper based on their thesis at the APS annual conference in the year following the completion of their course of study.
