Register and Pay Conference Fee

Pick a price point on the site:

  • Student and Post Docs: $80.00
  • Faculty/Independent Researchers (people with jobs who’ve graduated): $150.00
  • I feel like covering some extra fees: $155.00
  • Note: We do our best to break even to keep costs down for everyone.

If your university/job is covering the cost of the conference, consider covering the fees for us! (not necessary, just an option). If you use a paypal account, we will see the name associated with that account. If you pay directly with a credit card (no PayPal account necessary), your information will be grabbed from that page. If you are paying for someone else, please leave a note or send an email to so we can make name tags. We are registered 503(c), which makes your donation a tax exemption if you are in the United States! This registration also lowers the credit card/paypal fees. You can also pay by cash or check in person at the conference (US Dollars).

First-time graduate student presenters are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts. If you are a first-time graduate student attending SCiP, and the primary presenter, you may be eligible to have your registration waived as part of the Birnbaum Scholarship for first-time graduate presenters.

The Society sponsors The Castellan Student Paper Award for the outstanding student paper.

Student papers on the application of computers to any area of psychology (theoretical, experimental, applied) are welcome. Eligibility is open to work done by a student currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate courses, or work done as part of a course, thesis, or other student research by a person who graduated within the last year. The student must be the primary author and the presenter of the paper. The winning author will receive a one year membership in the Society and a $200 cash prize. Students are required to submit the complete manuscript for evaluation for the competition by October 15th, 2025. The award for the outstanding student paper will be announced after the conference.
