Student Scholarships

Student scholarship opportunities are offered to interested students who would like to participate in TAS Programs (Annual Meeting,  Archeology Academies, and Field School).  The chosen individuals will receive the same stipend and offerings provided to the Native American and Diversity Scholarship recipients. 

Student scholarships are awarded to college students with proof of enrollment. High School, Middle School or Elementary School age scholarships may be offered to younger students, providing an adult sponsor is attending the event and responsible for all minor students.

All Student 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.


Archeology Academy Scholarship

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.
