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 in a hybrid format from January 5-8, 2023, the four-day conference featured presentations and workshops on the latest research from the field, showcased innovative site preservation strategies, and provided opportunities to meet presenters and learn about recent discoveries. (For more about the conference, visit the AIA website.)
The 2022 Craft Fellowship will award two students $1500 each, and 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 the Assistant Secretary of the AIA-DC Society by e-mail (for surface mail, use the address below).
The upcoming deadline is 4 NOVEMBER 2022, with notification in early December 2022.
