Male Representation in Psychology

We apply research, theory, and common sense strategies to increase the enduring participation of help-seeking in seeking mental health as well as fostering more mental health professionals with a focus in the area of the psychology of men and boys.

Graduate School Scholarships

We are developing criteria and an administration process which will award five $10,000 scholarships to support applicants who are University of Kansas students pursuing graduate training in psychology with a focus on men’s issues, prioritizing students with financial need. Scholarship recipients will participate in a webinar series showcasing their work. Each awardee will also be paired with two mentors from D51—one current graduate student and one established professional psychologist—to provide guidance and support throughout their training. This program at the University of Kansas is a pilot program, and the intent to scale the scholarships program to other universities and institutions once we have results about the pilot program’s effectiveness. For Kansas University students looking to get more information about this program and applying, contact info[at]division51.net.
