Grants View Grant Information

The ACP provides grant funds to ACP members annually to support the low-fee psychoanalysis of children and adolescents.  It issues this funding through a supporting institution to be given to a child analytic candidate or graduate child psychoanalyst working with a qualifying case. 

 

In order to qualify for a grant the child must be in analysis at the time of application.  Grant applications are available from the ACP office or on the "members only" section of the website and must be returned by December  31.   

 

Grants are awarded in January  of each year and are renewable up to a maximum of two years.
