The Metropolitan Chapter is partnering with the AIA-NY Society to create a joint scholarship for student research on the archaeology of New York City. The specifics of the scholarship, including links to the application, are detailed below. The scholarship recipient will receive a one-year NYSAA membership to be paid by the MET Chapter and is expected to produce a short article that will appear in both the AIA-NY Society and NYSSA newsletters. At present, the scholarship is a one-time thing. However, the scholarship could become an annual event if there is sufficient interest and it proves a fruitful collaboration. Submitted by Jessica and Meredith Linn, Co-Presidents of the Metropolitan Chapter, New York State Archaeological Association.
The New York Society of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIANYS) and the Metropolitan Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association (NYSAA) are offering a $1,500 scholarship to a student in support of archival, collections or field-based research, scientific analysis or a public outreach project primarily focused on New York City-based archaeology. The scholarship program is administered and overseen by both organizations working in collaboration for the first time.
