Each year the SSSP Divisions hold student paper competitions relating to each of their specific topic areas and interests. These awards recognize students for their outstanding scholarship in their respective fields.

The Divisions are pleased to announce the 2023 Student Paper Competitions and Outstanding Scholarship Awards. In order to be considered for any of the Student Paper Competitions, applicants were required to submit their papers through the Annual Meeting Call for Papers prior to the January 31, 2023 extended submission deadline. This will ensure that winning papers are both designated and included in the program.

Note: Students may only submit to one division and each division has its own deadline and submission process. Papers are not eligible for presentation or division competitions or awards/scholarships/fellowships if they have been published or accepted for publication before being submitted for consideration. Papers are not eligible if they have been presented previously at SSSP or presented or accepted for presentation at other professional meetings, unless they have been revised substantially with new data, findings, or theoretical contributions.
