Welker ScholarshipsThe Maya Research Program offers a limited number of scholarships to promising students who will attend Blue Creek for at least two sessions. Students targeted for this award are advanced undergraduate or early graduate students in archaeology. However, we have funded non-majors in the past and all interested students are encouraged to apply. The scholarships are funded by the Welker Scholarship Endowment Fund and supplemented by generous donors. This year we will fund at least 10 students. Each awardee will receive a $1000 scholarship. Recipients are required to spend at least 2 two-week sessions with us. The normal student cost for two full sessions is $2700. Scholarship students will pay just $1700.
To apply please include a scholarship application with your normal enrollment form and associated deposits. The scholarship application packet should outline your background, research interests, related course and/or field work, and future plans in archaeology. You should also include at least one letter of recommendation, ideally from a faculty member. The application deadline is March 1 preceding the field season, but since scholarships are limited, you are wise to apply early. Additionally, MRP encourages students to apply for the following scholarships and grants:
