Historically Underrepresented Groups Scholarships
Now accepting applications. The application deadline is January 31, 2022.

HUGS Application 2022

The Historically Underrepresented Groups Scholarship (HUGS) endowment fund was established in 2010 to increase recruitment and retention of under represented minorities obtaining degrees in archaeology. Embracing diversity in heritage and narratives is key to understanding the past. However, minority groups have long been under represented and marginalized in American archaeology, creating an imbalance with consequences, not only in research goals and interpretations, but also in communication with diverse publics. Since 2015, the SAA has used the HUGS endowment to help minority students enhance their education and successfully prepare for careers in archaeology and heritage management. The Society along with the Minority Scholarship Committee is committed to the inclusion of under-represented minorities in archaeology. Support for these scholarships comes from individual donations and corporate partnerships. The following competitive scholarships are currently offered:

–HUGS for Undergraduate Students supports archaeological training or participation in a research program for undergraduate minority students, including but not limited to tuition, travel, food, housing, books, supplies, equipment, and child care. Any form of archaeological training during the summer may be funded, not just limited to field schools. Amount awarded is up to $3,000 with one to two scholarships available each year. Six $3,000 scholarships will be available for 2022.

–HUGS for Graduate Students supports archaeological training or participation in a research program for graduate minority students, including but not limited to tuition, travel, food, housing, books, supplies, equipment, and child care. Any form of archaeological training during the summer may be funded, not just limited to field schools. Amount awarded is up to $3,000 with one to two scholarships available each year. Six $3,000 scholarships will be available for 2022.

-HUGS DirectAMS Radiocarbon Award to support students in their research by providing one free radiocarbon date. One award is available in 2022. Additional information and application details can be found in the left sidebar.

Topics include, but are not limited to, 3D methods such as photogrammetry, laser scanning, and microCT; use of GNSS and various sUAS (drone) platforms; satellite and aerial imagery analysis; geospatial databases and analysis; spatial statistics; and digital museums, archives, and storytelling. Residency workshops will take place at CAST and will consist of one two-week workshop in Summer 2022 on data collection and analysis, provisionally scheduled for June 5-18, 2022; and a second one-week workshop in Summer 2023 on data archiving and publication, date TBD.

Each SAROI Fellows will be provided:

Felicia A. Holton Book Award

NEW DEADLINE! Applications are due on 07 January 2022 for the Society for Archaeological Sciences’ Research Support Award. More details below and here.

Program Description

The Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS) announces a new, more flexible, research funding program to support the work of its student and early career members during the COVID-19 pandemic. The SAS Research Support temporarily replaces the existing Student Research International Travel Award and a Postdoctoral Conference Travel Award that was to have debuted in 2020. In light of most in-person conferences, symposia, and workshops being postponed or canceled, we have decided to channel the budget that was originally allocated for the two above travel awards to a more flexible research funding scheme to cover laboratory and fieldwork expenses.

Eligibility

The applicants must be either graduate students (Master’s or Doctoral) or early career researchers. In the latter case, they must have been awarded their PhD within the previous eight years at the time of application. Exceptions may be made for the applicants with a career break, such as but not limited to parental leave, long-term illness or disability, or national service. The circumstances for exceptions must be clearly indicated in the application.
The award is only open to graduate students and early career researchers who are current dues-paid members of The Society for Archaeological Sciences at the time of application.
Applications for the award should be submitted by 07 January 2022 and must be made before the analyses and field research take place.
Please see the full award program announcement here for application procedures, evaluation criteria, and terms and conditions.
