Description
The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) offers these travel grants to help undergraduate and graduate students from underrepresented minority groups attend the AIA Annual Meeting. The program supports meeting-related travel expenses rather than a separate research or fieldwork project, recognizing the value of participation in the meeting to a student’s intellectual formation.
The grants are part of the Institute’s broader work advancing archaeological awareness, education, fieldwork, preservation, publication, and research of archaeological sites and cultural heritage worldwide. Selection considers academic qualifications, including commitment to and ability in archaeology or related fields, alongside financial need and minority status.
