AlleyDog Psychology Scholarship awards one $1,000 prize each semester to the Psychology student who best explains how they'll put to use their knowledge of psychology. You can write about anything you like, such as how this area of psychology benefits the world or people, how it has changed society, or even why it's the coolest area of psychology. The choice is yours, but be creative.

You can write about any subject area within Psychology, such as clinical, social, counseling, forensic, etc. We suggest picking something really interests you.

You've got 1,000 words. Keep it short and sweet, but make it powerful and compelling. Once you're ready to submit your essay, please save it as a Word document and email it to submissions@alleydog.com. We'll read all the essays and pick one winner.

That’s all. Now get started with your writing!
