IUMAA Academic Year Research Fellowship

About the Fellowship

The IUMAA fellowship provides a stipend of $20,000, as well as health insurance, for the academic year (2025-2026). The 10-month fellowship supports a full-time graduate student at Indiana University, Bloomington or other IU affiliated campuses. The fellowship provides support for dissertation, thesis, or related projects that contribute to the field of archaeology. Preference will be given to candidates that will be working with subjects or material culture related to Midwest archaeology, Angel Mounds, or other Midwestern sites. This fellowship also supports graduate students participating in archaeological research or a field school endorsed by the IU Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, as well as those from other fields utilizing IUMAA's archaeological collections for research.
