Annual Meeting Fellowships
Because the ASOR annual meeting is one of most important ways to involve students and junior scholars in the field, ASOR, in cooperation with several foundations and generous donors, provides a number of different scholarship.
- Student travel grants: Up to 10 grants are made available to students enrolled at ASOR-member schools.
- Lindstrom scholars: Thanks to the generosity of Gary Lindstrom and the Lindstrom foundation, ASOR offers up to 6 scholarships for students to attend the annual meeting and provide work to support the meeting.
- Kress Fellowships: Pending approval of the grant application, ASOR is able to offer travel support for junior scholars from outside North America to attend the annual meeting from an award from the Kress Foundation. Nominations must be made by the section chair in the session where the scholar is presenting a paper.
- Dorot Scholarships: Thanks to the generosity of the Dorot Foundation, ASOR is able to provide travel support for graduate students who are presenting papers at the annual meeting. The Dorot fellowships have been suspended for 2009.
- Sean Dever Memorial Prize: Given to the best student paper in the area of archaeology.
- Open Archaeology Prize: Competition to promote open access of archaeological material on the web. Two annual awards.
