The Wade Family Anthropology Field School Fund

Established in 2003 by the Wade family to honor the class of 2002, the purpose of this endowment is to provide financial support for continuing students who wish to pursue a summer field school program in Anthropology. A field school can be crucial in helping students gain self-confidence in their abilities and make intelligent choices about their post-graduate lives.

Funds awarded will be paid directly to the field school for tuition, room, board and/or other fees associated with a national or international field school program or field experience. The award might pay the total cost of a field school program, or might supplement the student’s own resources to attend a program they could not otherwise afford. Preference will be given to declared Pomona Anthropology majors. Students must be accepted into a field school in order to be eligible for this award, however, applications for this award should be submitted by the spring deadline (to be announced) even if you haven’t received notification about acceptance into a field school program. The number of awards per year is limited only by the endowment income for that year. The maximum awarded per grant is $1,500.

Applications should include
  1. A two-to-three page proposal that clearly indicates: the focus of the field school and significance of the experience for the student’s education in their major; the amount of time that the project will take; the expected outcome.
  2. Contact information for the field school: sponsoring institution, representative’s name, address, phone, website
  3. A detailed budget indicating the exact amount of the award requested.
  4. A letter of recommendation from a faculty member, including a brief evaluation of the student’s qualifications to do the proposed field work
  5. An official transcript.

Members of the Anthropology Department will review and rank applications. The highest ranked applicant(s) accepted into a field school program he/she plans to attend will receive the award(s).

Deadline for Submitting Proposals: (to be announced). Proposals should be sent to Gail Orozco, Anthropology Department, Hahn 212, Pomona College.
