Scholarships - Exploring Psychodrama and Sociometry

Announcement

The American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) announces a new endowed scholarship from the Jacob and Zerka Moreno Foundation for Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy. The endowment will provide support to a psychodrama student who would not otherwise be able to attend the AGPA annual conference, and who demonstrates both promise and passion for the theory and practice of psychodrama and sociometry.

This scholarship will introduce psychodrama students to the therapeutic expertise at AGPA Connect and the AGPA culture of compassion; we also want to inspire them to contribute to the visibility of psychodrama within AGPA, perhaps one day offering their own workshops in psychodrama and sociometry. The award is amazing — it covers registration, travel, and hotel costs for one psychodrama student every year, in perpetuity. The Moreno Foundation does not want financial considerations to interfere with training.

Scholarship Description

The Jacob and Zerka Moreno Foundation honors the legacy of the founders of psychodrama, group psychotherapy, and sociometry. The scholarship will be given to a psychodrama student who is in need of funding in order to attend AGPA Connect, has attended at least four psychodrama workshops facilitated by certified psychodramatists, and who shows promise and passion for the theory and practice of psychodrama. The award covers hotel, travel, and registration costs for the full six days at AGPA Connect.

Application Instructions

You may apply for this scholarship for AGPA CONNECT 2026, the annual conference of AGPA to be held at the Times Square Sheraton Hilton and Towers in New York City, March 2–9, 2026, through the AGPA website. Two strong recommendations, preferably from certified psychodramatists, will be required.
