The Frederic Hicks International Travel Award For Summer/Fall and Spring Semesters

THE UofL DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY ANNOUNCES
THE FREDERIC HICKS INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AWARD FOR SUMMER/FALL and SPRING SEMESTERS

What is the Hicks Travel Award you ask?

The  Hicks  Award  is  given  to  anthropology  majors  who  show excellence in their  course-work  as  demonstrated by their GPA, who show promise of continuing  their education in anthropology or a related field, who can explain how the proposed international experience advances their  education, and who demonstrate financial need.

Dr. Frederic Hicks was a professor in our department for many years. Until his retirement in 1996, he taught Mesoamerican ethnohistory and Latin American anthropology. This award is his legacy to  the Anthropology Department. It is hoped that students will gain fresh insights and understandings through their travel, study, and research in new cultural settings. In the past few years, our majors have used this award for study in - among other places - Russia, Peru, Morocco, Portugal, Costa Rica, and Australia. These funds can only be used to support participation in appropriate travel/study abroad programs which offer academic credit.   Preference is given to students of junior or senior standing. A form is available in the Anthropology Department lobby. The submission deadline for the Winter/Spring semester funding is in November and the submission deadline for the Summer/Fall semesters is in February.
