Collegiate Program Scholarships |
The Collegiate committee will encourage interested individuals to participate in the Texas Archeological Society by offering scholarships to Society programs (Annual Meeting, the Archeology Academy, and Field School), contingent on funding being available. The applications can be downloaded by clicking on the link below. Collegiate committee members will review and determine scholarship recipients. The chosen individuals will receive the same stipend and offerings provided the Native American and Diversity Scholarship recipients. Applicants need not be students to be eligible.
All Collegiate Scholarship recipients will be registered as an individual or student TAS member for the current year, if not already a member, and will receive the Bulletin of the Texas Archeological Society and Texas Archeology newsletter.
Academy registration will be covered; this includes a electronic version of the manual, lunches and snacks during Academy sessions, and any materials needed. Scholarships may include partial reimbursement for the expenses of persons traveling to an Academy. Reimbursement for long-distance travel may be restricted, determined by the distance and availability of funds. The recipient will be able to choose the Academy he or she wishes to attend. The deadline to apply is approximately three weeks before each Academy's registration deadline; check scholarship form for actual date. Please take into account that popular courses may fill up before the stated registration deadline. |
The Field School registration fee will be covered for the scholarship recipient, and that person will receive a dig kit containing the tools needed for excavation.

While the recipient must provide his/her own lunches, TAS will donate ice for his/her cooler. Scholarships may include partial reimbursement for the expenses of persons traveling to Field School. Reimbursement for long-distance travel may be restricted, determined by the distance and availability of funds. |
