PSA - the NSF GRFP solicitation is out and those in Clinical Psych programs are NOT eligible to apply this year.

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.
