support of others in a variety of professional endeavors. I see this gift as an opportunity to return the favor. My gift will support Levant early career psychologists who might be able to take their fledgling ideas to the next step, enabling them to eventually build substantial careers that might make significant contributions to the amelioration of critical social problems.” APA Treasurer and independent practitioner Bonnie Markham, PhD, PsyD, of Metuchen, N.J., has also remembered psychology in her will with a bequest to APF. She supports the foundation’s efforts as a way to ensure that psychology will continue to be Markham innovative and that its future will remain bright. “For as long as I can remember wanting to be anything, I have wanted to be a psychologist. It is a great privilege to live my dream. And it is an even greater privilege to be able to support the profession and those needing the expertise of the profession. The way I think of APF is that it is assuring that my dreams and those of so many others can be realized now and into the future.” travel grants available for women in developing countries APF encourages early career women researchers from developing countries to apply for the Frances M. Culbertson Travel Grant. The grant provides up to $1,500 for travel and registration expenses incurred at a conference to keep abreast of the latest information in psychology.
