Funding requests will be reviewed by a three-member committee that, by the terms of endowment, must include the Chair of the Department of Anthropology who will appoint one full-time faculty member and a faculty member from outside of the department.
The amount of available funding will vary from year to year and will determine the number and amount of the awards. It is anticipated that for academic year 2006-2007 there will be seven awards, each with a maximum amount of 250.00.
