PLEASE NOTE:

The Community Relations Committee regretfully announces the discontinuation of the Scholarship Competition.  The program was a five year pilot program and the committee has elected to focus on other outreach programs that may be more beneficial to the community and to DSPP.  Thanks to all who participated in this project.

In 1998 DSPP initiated its annual scholarship competition, with the sponsorship of the Fairhill School & Diagnostic Assessment Center.  The competition was designed to encourage and reward scholarship in the area of psychoanalytic theory and practice among area students.  The competition was open to all students enrolled in an academic degree program in the Dallas area and surrounding communities, and students from any academic field were welcome to compete. 

The DSPP/Fairhill Scholarship Competition was discontinued following the 2001-2002 program year due to limited response.  The committee has decided that it would be more beneficial to use the funds to support other educational formats within DSPP.

Thanks to all who have participated over the past five years and best of luck!
