Your Membership Makes a Difference

NASP and its members are dedicated to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). By being a member, you help fund critical resource development for equitable and culturally responsive practice, including the EDI podcast series. Read more about EDI initiatives that are part of NASP’s strategic plan.

Last year, NASP members donated more than $20,000 to support the Minority Scholarship Program. This program offers tuition assistance for school psychology graduate students from minoritized backgrounds to help break down barriers to graduate education and further diversify the profession of school psychology.
