WILLIAM T. MULLOY
UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP
OFFERED BY THE
WYOMING ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY
The William T. Mulloy scholarship is awarded each year by the Wyoming Archaeological Society and the recipient is announced at the annual spring meeting. Proposals should focus on projects or activities relevant to Archaeology/Anthropology. An emphasis on research in Wyoming is encouraged.
The scholarship is awarded to a University of Wyoming undergraduate student in Anthropology, with a preferred, but not required, emphasis toward Archaeology as a subdiscipline. The award is made only to students who expect to make Anthropology a vocation and expect to contribute constructively to its subfields. The amount normally varies around $400-500 depending on availability of funds. Each applicant must have maintained at least a 3.00 grade point average in all Anthropology courses and a 2.75 overall grade point average to be eligible.
WAS encourages the scholarship recipient to use this support to conduct independent study, to help with travel expenses related to research, or other pertinent activities. Recipients are encouraged, though not required, to deliver a presentation about their activity at a spring meeting of the Wyoming Archaeological Society following the year of the scholarship award, or submit a written version of their research to the editor of The Wyoming Archaeologist to be considered for publication.
Application forms and guidelines are available from the Department Secretary in the Anthropology Office, or from the State Archaeologist, Room 218, Anthropology Building.
