On 30 July 1999, the American Polygraph Association Board of Directors approved the funding of an annual competitive scholarship, called the William J. Yankee Memorial Scholarship, in honor of Dr. Yankee's commitment and lasting contribution to examiner education. Under this new program, the APA will underwrite the cost of basic polygraph training at an APA accredited school for one candidate each year, up to $5,000.00. To qualify, the candidate must:
1) have a 4-year degree from an accredited college or university;
2) select to attend an APA accredited basic polygraph examiner training course;
3) qualify for APA membership upon completion of training.
4) submit an essay of up to 1000 words on detection of deception, interviewing, interrogation, or related fields; and,.
5) submit at least two (2) letters of recommendations.
Candidates must have their packets in to the National Office by 1 June each year to compete for the scholarship, and that packet must include a cover letter, resume, and essay. An official college transcript issued directly from the institution must also arrive to the National Office before the 1 June deadline.
Criteria for selection of the single candidate will
be academic success and a demonstrated interest in the field of polygraph.
The packets will be reviewed by the APA Education and Training Committee,
and the single candidate will be selected by majority vote of the Board
of Directors.
