Description
The Anna Marguerite McCann Diversity Student Travel Grants are designed to assist undergraduate or graduate students from underrepresented minority groups with travel expenses to attend the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) Annual Meeting. The program aims to foster diversity within archaeology by reducing financial barriers for students from historically underrepresented ethnic and racial backgrounds in the United States and Canada. In addition to travel, the grant recognizes the needs of students with family responsibilities by allowing reasonable expenses for the care of dependent or elderly family members as part of the application.
