The Native American Scholarships Endowment Fund was established in 1988 to foster a shared purpose and positive interaction between archaeologists and Native peoples. Since 1998, income from the fund has supported the Arthur C. Parker Scholarship, and in 2009, two more awards were added to support undergraduate and graduate study in archaeology.
Funding for these scholarships comes from individual donations, a silent auction at the SAA Annual Meeting, and external grants.
1) SAA Arthur C. Parker Scholarship for Archaeological Training for Native Americans Supports archaeological training for Native American students or employees of tribal, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian cultural preservation programs.
2) SAA Native American Undergraduate Archaeology Scholarship Supports undergraduate studies in archaeology. Funding may cover tuition, travel, food, housing, books, supplies, equipment, dependent care, medical expenses, archival research costs, and analysis costs.
3) SAA Native American Graduate Archaeology Scholarship Supports graduate-level studies in archaeology. Funding may cover tuition, travel, food, housing, books, supplies, equipment, dependent care, medical expenses, archival research costs, and analysis costs.
4) Bertha Parker Cody Award for Native American Women Supports undergraduate and graduate studies in archaeology or museum studies. Funding may cover tuition, travel, food, housing, books, supplies, equipment, and child care.
