About the Support Fund

The Goal of the Graduate Student Support Fund is to raise $100,000 or more to create an endowment that will produce a revenue stream for the support of graduate student scholarships. Anthropology is changing rapidly and, while external funding is being reduced, we must continue to produce the superlative graduates for which this department has long been known. Only an endowed fund can guarantee resources for changing needs in perpetuity. By spending only a portion of the income each year and returning the rest to the principal, the department will ensure that the fund will keep pace with inflation and provide an enduring solution to the rising costs of graduate education.

Donors of $1,000 or more will be inducted into the Florence Hawley Ellis Circle. The donor name will be added to the commemorative plaque created specifically to honor the Circle’s supporters and the donor may choose one of several special opportunities offered by the Department. These include, but are not limited to, a tour of the Maxwell Museum special collections, a day at one of the Summer or Fall Field Schools, guided tour of one of the local excavation/ research sites.

Donors of $500 or more will be inducted into the Edgar Lee Hewett Circle. The donor name will be added to a commemorative plaque created specifically to honor these supporters. Click here to give online!
