THE ELISABETH CRAFT
STUDENT TRAVEL FELLOWSHIP

The Craft Student Travel Fellowship honors Elisabeth Roberts Craft (1918 - 2010), a longstanding member and supporter of the Washington D.C. Society of the AIA. This award assists promising students in the field of archaeology by defraying the costs of attending the Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America.
Taking place from 7-10 January every year, the four-day conference features presentations and workshops on the latest research from the field, showcases innovative site preservation strategies, and provides opportunities to meet presenters and learn about recent discoveries. (For more about the conference, visit the AIA website.)
The 2026 Elizabeth Craft Travel Fellowship will award one graduate student and one undergraduate student $750 to support expenses associated with attendance of the 2027 Annual Meeting of the A.I.A in Boston. We encourage both undergraduate and graduate students to apply. Eligible students should be enrolled at institutions in the greater Washington area (DC-MD-VA) and be members of the AIA. To apply, submit a completed application form (see below), the name of a reference, and an unofficial transcript to Dr. Faya Causey by e-mail at (fayacausey@gmail.com).
The deadline for submissions is 30 OCTOBER 2026, and the successful applicant will be notified in early December 2026.
