Established in 2003 by the Wade family to honor the class of
2002, the purpose of this endowment is to provide financial
support for continuing students who wish to pursue a summer
field school program in Anthropology. A field school can be
crucial in helping students gain self-confidence in their
abilities and make intelligent choices about their
post-graduate lives.
Funds awarded must be used for tuition, room, board and
other fees associated with a national or international field
school program or field experience. Students may use the
funds to fully pay for a field school program or use the
funds in conjunction with their own resources to attend a
program they could not otherwise afford. Preference will be
given to declared anthropology majors and those who plan to attend
anthropological field school programs that will contribute
to a student's major (e.g. field schools in ethnography,
archaeology, primatology, forensic anthropology). Students
must be accepted into a field school in order to be eligible
for this award, however, applications for this award should
be submitted by the March 8th deadline even if you haven’t
received notification about acceptance into a field school
program. The number of awards per year is limited only by
the endowment income for that year. The maximum awarded per
grant is $1,500.
Award recipients must make a public presentation of the
field school experience to faculty and students of the
Anthropology department (or related program based on the
student’s major) during the fall semester following receipt
of the grant.
Applications should include
- A two-to-three page proposal that clearly indicates:
the focus of the field school and significance of the
experience for the student’s education in their major; the
amount of time that the project will take; the expected
outcome.
- A detailed budget indicating the exact amount of the
award requested.
- A letter of recommendation from a faculty member,
including a brief evaluation of the student’s
qualifications to do the proposed field work
- An official transcript.
Members of the Anthropology Department will review and rank applications.
The highest ranked applicant(s) accepted into a field school
program he/she plans to attend will receive the award(s).
