The Young Scholar Award is given biennially by the EARA to one young scholar who has published empirical or theoretical studies in international journals or volumes that contribute significantly to understanding adolescence and adolescent development. At the EARA conference, the awarded scholar will be given the opportunity to present his or her research and ideas. In addition, the awardee receives a stipend (€500) to cover conference expenses to attend the EARA conference.
