If you have been considering attending an anthropology conference, UT Anthropolgoical Society can help.

The UTAS Conference Fund is designed to help foster research and career opportunities. Undergraduates can apply to receive financial assistance to attend an anthropology related conference. Four students will be awarded $500 which can be used toward their travel expenses and conference registration fees. Browse the list of meetings below to get started. Of course, any conference through August 31, 2007 will be funded, not just the ones on the list. Applications can be submitted to Gabby Yearwood in EPS 1.130. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact a UTAS officer or Gabby Yearwood.

Deadline: October 13, 2006.
Application: UTASConfApp.pdf (233kb).
