Karen S. Greiner Endowment Application

The Karen S. Greiner Endowment is a fund administered by the CSU Department of Anthropology and Geography, which provides modest financial support ($500- $1500) for student projects that focus on the study and preservation of Colorado's rich archaeological record. Awards are made on a competitive basis, with research projects that are nearing completion and which will benefit most from the funds receiving special consideration. This award is only available to current CSU Anthropology majors or students in the CSU Anthropology graduate program.

3) a budget

The text of the proposal should be 2-3 pages in length.
