Support for participation in TAS activities is provided through Diversity Scholarships, Native American Scholarships, and Student Scholarships. The Scholarship Program is financed by donations from The Council of Texas Archeologists (the state association for professional archeologists), cultural resource management firms, and TAS members. The number of individuals who can be supported by scholarships is largely dependent on the donations received.
- Scholarships apply to Field School, Annual Meeting, and the Archeology Academies
- Applicants may apply for scholarships under all three programs
- Once an individual has received any TAS scholarship, they must wait 10 months before applying for another scholarship
Deadline to submit applications is 45 DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT
