Scholarships and Grants

Multicultural Program:  Collegiate Scholarships

The Collegiate Scholarship subcommittee sponsors the participation of enrolled college/university students in Field School, the Archeology Academy, and the Annual Meeting.

Persons may apply for TAS scholarships under all three programs, and for multiple events.  Once an individual has received any TAS scholarship, however, they must wait 10 months from the date of the scholarship award before applying for another scholarship.  This will allow TAS to provide scholarship opportunities to as many different individuals as possible.  For further information contact Tim Sullivan.

Annual Meeting Collegiate Scholarship

The scholarship recipient will be registered as a TAS student member for the current year, if not already a member, and will receive the Bulletin of the Texas Archeological Society and Texas Archeology newsletter.
