The SCCAP Fellows Committee invites nominations for Fellow Status in our upcoming 2023 cycle (Fellow status as of 2024). Self-nominations are welcome. Becoming an SCCAP Fellow recognizes outstanding contributions to Psychology and SCCAP and is an honor valued by many members. Election requires evidence of outstanding contributions or performance in the field of Psychology, specifically in the area of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. Fellow status requires that a person’s work has had a national impact on the field.

The SCCAP Fellow Application is less cumbersome than the Initial APA Fellow Application. Minimum qualifications include:

• Existing APA Fellow status through another division,
• APA and SCCAP membership for at least one year,
• Ten (10) years of postdoctoral professional experience, and
• A self-statement and Curriculum Vita with highlighted contributions to clinical child and adolescent psychology broadly defined.

Not yet an APA Fellow? SCCAP can sponsor your initial application so you can become an APA and SCCAP Fellow through one application process.

The deadline for submission is December 1, 2022, and a full list of divisional criteria as well as information on both application processes, can be found on the SCCAP website.
