About the PIE Fund
Driven by our faculty’s deep commitment to diversity and inclusion, the PIE Fund empowers psychology students from historically marginalized and equity-deserving communities by providing undergraduate and graduate psychology students with paid research positions in our labs. It supports initiatives such as Early Research Awards and PSYC 240 Tuition Awards to support early research training for undergraduate student researchers who face obstacles to working in a research lab. Entrance Enhancement Awards help recruit outstanding graduate students from diverse backgrounds, paving the way for inclusive excellence in psychology.
Your generosity helps us create a more equitable, diverse and inclusive psychology field—and advances the next generation of scientists!
