Del Jones Memorial Travel Award

Eligibility

Del Jones Memorial Travel Award, with an application deadline in December, offers 2 awards of $750 each.

Description

The Del Jones Memorial Travel Award honors this African American anthropologist and dedicated Society for Applied Anthropology member who was committed to aiding oppressed and disadvantaged communities. Established in 1999 after his passing, the fund supports travel grants for students to attend the Society for Applied Anthropology Annual Meeting. This award encourages minority participation in the Society for Applied Anthropology, especially among African Americans, but it also honors the life and work of Del Jones independently of the minority criterion. Students who meet the following criteria must have been enrolled as a student during part of the current year; and must have an accepted paper abstract for the Society for Applied Anthropology Annual Meeting program (poster presentations are not eligible). The accepted paper should address issues related to supporting and empowering oppressed or disadvantaged communities, reflecting Del Jones's contributions. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society for Applied Anthropology for more information.
