The SGIS Awards Committee will use your responses to this form to assess which awards you are eligible for and evaluate your application relative to the other applicants who are eligible for the same awards.

Degree you are pursuing Required

For graduate students.

Which SGIS program(s) are you enrolled in? Required
Do you focus on any of these academic areas or research agendas? Required
Did you, or do you plan to, present your research at the annual Nebraska Academy of Sciences? Required

This question determines your eligibility for the Thomas Edward McGinnis Award.
Do you plan to attend a summer field school? Required

This question determines your eligibility for the Hubbard Archaeology Scholarship.

If you checked yes to the previous question, please indicate which field school you plan to attend and where you are in the application process.

Strong responses will include abstracts for all ongoing projects, and indicate the final goal(s) for each research project. For example, if a project is your master's thesis that you also plan to present at a conference and submit for publication in a journal, please indicate all of this in a short sentence following the abstract. If you are attending a field school and would only like to be considered for the Hubbard Archaeology Scholarship or Hubbard Archaeology Graduate Teaching Assistant Scholarship, simply write "Hubbard" in this answer field.

Strong responses will explain how receiving an award will help mitigate financial obstacles to your aspirations, or will explain how the award funds will be used.

Applicants for the Leslie Hughes Award should submit documentation of their conference acceptance here.
