Payment of Funds

The award is void if the applicant does not successfully complete the program, or that portion of the program for the year for which the scholarship is intended to fund.

The award of the scholarship will be made directly to the Program via check issued by the AAP Treasurer upon successful completion of the program by the applicant, and notice thereof from the Director of the Psychosynthesis Training Program has been received by the AAP Steering Committee.

Note: there is some flexibility in this program's requirements and procedures. Applicant may request variations in application data and conditions of award.
