Who Can Apply:
- Michael Bryk was a beloved friend and colleague who lived an incredible life but passed away too soon in March of 2024.
- Michael was a wonderful person and a passionate archaeologist with Logan Simpson. Michael was enamored with his position as an archaeological laboratory director and loved to express his curiosity, learn new things, and explore the prehistory and history of the Southwestern U.S./Northwestern Mexico. Many young people share this fascination with learning about the past, yet they may struggle to afford the tools, equipment, or travel-related expenses associated with their research interests.
- This 2nd annual Michael Bryk Memorial Grant aims to honor the memory of Michael by supporting students who are following in his footsteps.
- Any undergraduate or graduate student pursuing Anthropology, Archaeology, Museum Studies, Native American Studies, or History with at least a 3.5 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they conduct their research in the Southwestern U.S/Northwestern Mexico. The winner should use the grant money for a research project focused on some form of artifact analysis, analysis of paleoenvironmental samples, or curation. Scholarship funds can be used for analytical fees, travel, or other research-related expenses.
Submission: To apply, tell us what field and type of analysis you’re interested in, why you’re passionate about it, and how you would use the funds.
