School Psychology Graduate Fellowship Program

The Cultivating Representation in School Psychology (CRISP) Initiative seeks to improve the representation of school-based mental health care providers.  In 2021, the National Association of School Psychologists surveyed current practitioners and found that 87.5% identify as female and 86% identify as white; these data highlight the immediate and glaring need to improve representation across school-based mental health care providers. The SUNY Oswego School Psychology MS/CAS program is pleased to announce the receipt of a $3.5 million Department of Education grant to enhance diversity in the field of School Psychology.
