The Department of Anthropology offers three awards that provide funds to support graduate student travel and research: the Daniel Hughes Memorial Fund, the Larsen Research and Travel Award, the Elizabeth A. Salt Anthropology Travel Award, and the DEM3 Anthropology Research and Development Fund.
Through the graciousness of Ms. Violeta Hughes, the Daniel Hughes Memorial Fund will help support graduate and undergraduate student travel to regional, national, or international professional meetings. Awards are normally limited to $500. Larger amounts may be considered at the discretion of the Graduate Studies Committee.
Applications must include the following items: (1) curriculum vitae; (2) one-page letter outlining the research you plan to present and the venue at which you will present your work. If the work is co-authored, clearly outline your personal contribution to the finished work; and (3) a budget with itemized cost estimates.
The Larsen Research and Travel Award provides support for graduate student research and research-related travel. All graduate students in the Department of Anthropology are eligible to apply. Funds may be used to pay for research expenses that will significantly increase the quality of the research project, including but not limited to travel to field sites or research collections, supplies and equipment, and laboratory analyses. Travel to conferences is not allowable.
Awards will normally be limited to $1,000. Larger amounts may be considered at the discretion of the Graduate Studies Committee. Any equipment purchased with award funds will become the property of OSU and will remain in the Department after the project has been completed. Equipment purchases may not exceed the funded amount.
Applications must include the following items: (1) curriculum vitae; (2) two-page project description, including an explanation of how the award would advance the research project; and (3) a budget with itemized cost estimates.
The Elizabeth A. Salt Anthropology Travel Award is made possible through the generosity of Betsy Salt (M.A., OSU Anthropology, 1975). The Salt Award provides support for graduate student research-related travel. All graduate students in the Department of Anthropology are eligible to apply.
