CIAMS Funding

The CIAMS awards program offers grant opportunities for Cornell undergraduates for archaeological research and travel; to undergraduate Archaeology majors for conference travel for the purpose of giving presentations; to CIAMS M.A. and affiliated Ph.D. students for research, travel, and conference presentations.  Details on CIAMS awards for faculty and application forms can be found at the Cornell Box site for Archaeology faculty.

Questions about the CIAMS awards program should be directed to Adam Smith, chair of the Awards Committee, at ats73@cornell.edu.

Thanks to the generosity of the Lewin Family, grants are available to help Cornell students participate in research experiences led by Cornell faculty. Applications for Lewin support are initiated by the Cornell faculty member leading the research experience. Students seeking support from the Lewin grants should speak to the CIAMS faculty member leading their program.
