The Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP), Division 2 of the American Psychological Association, is committed to supporting and enhancing the teaching of psychology. They aim to encourage educational excellence, foster an inclusive and equitable academic environment, and promote the professional development of psychology educators. They are also focused on addressing systemic racism and inequity within their scope, advocating for diversity and inclusion in the field.
The International Travel Grant Program by STP aims to support the participation of psychology educators from underrepresented groups at psychology teaching conferences or more general psychology conferences with significant teaching components. The grant seeks to foster diversity and inclusion within the field by easing the financial burden of international travel for eligible educators. The distribution of funds is competitive, focusing on strong applications with the understanding that the amount awarded may vary based on the pool of applications and available resources.
