Anthropology Student Discovery Fund

We come together to celebrate aspiring anthropologists in their explorations of the world through experiential learning. Your support expands and enriches the education of our students and also invests in anthropology and thus a deeper, richer understanding of our shared humanity. These funds support student internships, study abroad trips, advanced research projects, and other opportunities as students complete their degree in anthropology and prepare for the next step of their educational or professional journey toward making the world a better, safer, and more inclusive place for us all.

Some examples include, but are not limited to students who are:

• Traveling abroad for a field school experience within the program, e.g., Poulton, England or Ethiopia, or are attending a field school outside of our program, for example a program they have identified in another country.
• Working on individualized research projects, e.g., analyzing a collection in a museum or research lab in the United States or abroad.
• Pursuing independent research experience, e.g., visiting a clinic in a developing country, joining in on a trip organized through an NGO or other non-profit group.
• Identifying an internship in a location or context where they may incur additional expenses, e.g., traveling to New York for an internship with a museum.
