The SSF is an expenses-paid, intensive summer training program and places up to 12 talented students in the psychology laboratories of some of the most outstanding researchers in the Washington, D.C., area. The lab experience will be six weeks in length. The SSF program gives students an opportunity to explore the intellectual, personal and social processes of scientific inquiry and to experience cutting-edge psychological research through hands-on laboratory activities. SSF offers promising students the opportunity to equip themselves with skills essential to succeed in graduate school, and gives students who plan to pursue advanced degrees in psychological science the opportunity to be mentored by nationally known faculty.

The 2015 program is expected to run from June 13 to July 25. APA will pay students a summer salary, as well as cover all travel and living expenses. This should make the program financially feasible for most college students.
