The International Young Scholars Program was established by SRA to support international scholars’ participation in the SRA 2023 Annual Meeting. The goal of the program is to facilitate collegial scholarly interaction among International Young Scholars and leaders in the field of adolescent research during the meeting and potentially establish cross-national research programs. To accomplish this, each International Young Scholar is paired with a mentor whose research interests are aligned or complementary to his/her own.

Scholars will receive a stipend of $1000 to help cover the costs of travel to the SRA 2023 Annual Meeting. Scholars are responsible for covering their remaining travel costs.
