The IUN Anthropology Club announces a $500 scholarship competition for the Fall
2004 semester; the scholarship is funded from the semi-annual one dollar used
book sale.  The application is due in two weeks.

This email is being sent to the entire IUN Anthropology Newsletter mailing list,
as I do not have a separate list of current or potential fall IUN students; the
only item in this newsletter is the scholarship, so if you are not an IUN
student, I give my apologies, and there is no need to scroll down looking for
other items of interest.

The scholarship application is below, and it should contain all the relevant
information; just cut and paste, and print it before or after you fill it out,
or just write/type the required information on a blank piece of paper for
submission.  Due to problems we had a couple of years ago, only hard copy
applications will be considered, no email applications.  But if you have any
questions or need help or more information, please reply to this newsletter.
The application is also available on the website, the link is at the bottom.





APPLICATION FOR 2004 CLARKE JOHNSON MEMORIAL IUN ANTHROPOLOGY SCHOLARSHIP
An award of $500 will be given for the fall semester of the academic year
2004-2005.  The award may be divided among more than one student, most likely an
upper level and frosh/soph level student.  The award is based entirely on merit,
not on financial need.  The winner(s) will be automatically nominated for the
Spring 2005 Academic Achievement Awards to be given out at the Arts & Sciences
Honors Tea.

Eligibility:  Open to all IUN anthropology students, defined as students who
have either officially declared an Anthropology AA Degree Major or an
Anthropology Minor, or who have declared a BA major in Sociology and are
pursuing the Anthropology Track within that four year program, or have
demonstrated their pursuit of a Minor in Anthropology by having completed nine
credit hours in anthropology by that time.  (Any student can declare
Anthropology in addition to any current majors or minors by application at the
office of Diane Robinson, Recorder of Arts and Sciences, room Tamarack 55.)
Students who have completed any degree are also eligible if their records
demonstrate continued pursuit of an anthropology education by continued
enrollment in anthropology courses.  Scholarship recipients must have a Grade
Point Average of 2.5 overall and 3.0 in their anthropology courses.  It does not
matter if applicants have also declared other majors, or even completed degrees
at IUN or elsewhere.  Students must have completed six credit hours at IUN in
any subject in each of the semesters of the 2003-2004 school year to be
eligible, and register for at least three credit hours in any subject in the
fall semester of the 2004-2005 academic year to receive the award.
Criteria: Student’s 1) performance in, and choice of, anthropology courses; 2)
cumulative and 2003-2004 Grade Point Average; 3) answer to the brief essay
question below; and 4) extra-curricular activities on or off campus related to
anthropology.  Criteria will be weighted in the order given. The winner will be
decided by a committee of three: an IUN Anthropology teacher, a representative
of the Dean’s Office of the College of Arts and Sciences, and a graduate of the
Anthropology AA program; their decision is final.  Submitting an application
authorizes the committee to review the student’s academic record.  Any money not
awarded to a winner due to failure to register at IUN for the Fall 2004 semester
will be awarded to the student finishing second.  Scholarship funded by IUN
Anthropology Club; club membership and participation is not necessary to win.

Completed applications should be sent by mail to Bob Mucci, IUN Anthropology
Program, Lindenwood 214, 3400 Broadway, Gary IN 46408, or delivered to
Lindenwood 214 in person.  Email applications are not acceptable.
Applications must be received by 5 pm Monday August 16, 2004.

Please answer these two questions on additional sheets of paper.

A)  Answer in 200 words or less: Why is studying anthropology an important part
of your educational and career goals?



B)  Please describe your extra-curricular activities, past and present, related
to anthropology both at IUN and off campus; possibilities include (but are not
limited to) participation in the IUN Anthropology Club, attendance and work at
any anthropology related events on campus, field trips, tutoring in anthropology
classes, participation in archaeological excavations, work at museums or zoos,
research, community activities or service, attending conferences, teaching,
writing about anthropology, and promotion of anthropology in any form.  Please
interpret the relationship to anthropology in a very broad sense; even if an
activity is associated with a different discipline, it should be listed if it
relates to or overlaps with anthropology.
