The Cleveland Archaeological Society field school scholarship
CAS is pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for our new summer archaeological field school scholarship program. Applications are due no later than March 30, 2024.
The Cleveland Archaeological Society Field School Scholarship provides up to $5000 for one or more Northeast Ohio students per year to participate in an archaeological field school. The goal of the scholarship is to make archaeological field school financially accessible for students from Northeast Ohio colleges and universities who would otherwise not be able to participate in these experiences. Students may use the funds to attend any field school anywhere in the world for any length of time. Funds may be used for program fees, tuition, airfare, housing, meals, equipment, etc. Preference will be given to undergraduate students, but graduate students may also apply. NO PREVIOUS ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE OR COURSEWORK IS NECESSARY TO APPLY.
Applicants must
