Anna Marguerite McCann Diversity Student Travel Grants

The Anna Marguerite McCann Diversity Student Travel Grants are designed to assist undergraduate or graduate students who qualify under the category of underrepresented minority with their travel expenses to attend the AIA Annual Meeting. For the purposes of this grant, the category underrepresented minority may include (but is not limited to) members of historically underrepresented ethnic and racial minority groups in the United States and Canada, for example, African-American/Canadian, Latinx-American/Canadian, Native-American/First Nations, Métis, Inuit, Asian-American/Canadian, Caribbean-American/Canadian, and Pacific-Islander American/Canadian students. Recipients of the Diversity Student Travel Grant will be given a complimentary student membership in the AIA for the year in which the Annual Meeting takes place. Candidates will be judged on the basis of their academic qualifications, including demonstrated commitment to and ability in archaeology or related fields, financial need, and minority status as defined above. As part of the Archaeological Institute of America's ongoing commitment to fieldwork and families, reasonable line items for the care of dependent and elderly family members are allowable expenses for AIA grants, fellowships, and scholarships.
