IARP invites interested rehabilitation counseling graduate students to submit papers for its 2014 Student Paper Scholarship Awards Program.
All entries must be free-standing papers, written between September 1, 2013 and December 1, 2014. The paper must be done by the student on an independent basis. If two students co-author a paper, both names must be on the submittal application.

A panel of rehabilitation counseling educators/practitioners will review the papers. Reviewers will evaluate each manuscript using 10 point Likert-type scales (10=high) to assign points in three categories (Content, Organization, Overall Evaluation). Category points will be summed for a "total score".
Scholarships will be awarded with the first place winner receiving a cash award of $750 the second place winner will receive a cash award of $500, and the third place winner receiving a $400 cash award.
Award winners will have their papers published in The Rehabilitation Professional, the official journal of the International Association of Rehabilitation Professionals.
