Applicants must be enrolled or have been accepted as a student in a doctoral program in a department of psychology or education, in which there are a sufficient number of behaviorally oriented faculty members to sponsor and supervise research in child development. As well, the student must have at least two full years remaining in the program after the fellowship application deadline.
Note: Applicants may not apply for the Bijou Fellowship and the SABA Experimental Fellowship in the same year.
The primary criterion for the Sidney W. and Janet R. Bijou Fellowship is the applicant’s commitment to the study and research of child development from a behavior-analytic perspective.
Applicants must obtain letters of recommendation in support of their application. Letters of recommendation are limited to two. Further letters will not be reviewed. Additionally, the applicant’s advisor must send a letter verifying that the applicant has a minimum of two full years in the program remaining after the fellowship application deadline.
There are no constraints on the recipient’s nationality or on the country in which the university is located.
The SABA Board of Directors constitutes the Fellowship Selection Committee. The SABA Board consists of the full members of the ABA International Executive Council and SABA’s Secretary-Treasurer. The Fellowship Selection Committee selects applicants at the fall Board Meeting. The Fellowship recipients are announced during the SABA Awards Ceremony in the opening event of ABA International’s annual convention and the recipients’ names are published in The ABA Newsletter.
