PSYSSA  hosted a prize draw for the students, awarding one student with a free 2019 congress registration  and  five students with 2020  membership waiver. Additional prizes that were sponsored were  textbooks and a chocolate hamper. PsySSA also  sponsored the gifts for all the congress volunteers.
