Update March 10: $9,095 raised towards $20,000 goal
Since 2007, мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± has awarded over 830 fellowships, grants, dig scholarships, and travel awards totaling more than $900,000. In 2021, мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± plans to award at least 25 summer stipends, six to eight excavation project grants, two Mesopotamian Fellowships, and more than a dozen Annual Meeting Travel Scholarships.
Every year in March, we launch a targeted campaign called March Fellowship Madness to support scholarships. This March we are focusing our efforts on raising $20,000 for BIPOC scholarships. We have received a lead gift of $7,000, so we need $13,000 more to reach our goal.
Our $20,000 March goal is part of a larger campaign to support broader мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± diversity initiatives. Thanks to a generous 2-for-1 challenge gift by мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± Trustee Carolyn Midkiff Strange, every dollar contributed will be matched with two dollars. A contribution of $25 will be matched with $50; a gift of $100 will be matched with $200; a gift of $1,000 will be matched with $2,000; and so forth.
In addition to supporting BIPOC stipends and scholarships in 2021, мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± will use these gifts to endow research scholarships, internships, and travel fellowships dedicated to BIPOC students and early career scholars. These fellowships and grants will be a foundation for future efforts, and will serve as a tangible sign of мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±’s commitment to long-term change.
The $20,000 March Fellowship Madness goal will move мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± much closer towards raising the $75,000 that is needed to fully “earn” this transformative $150,000 challenge gift. Extending social equity and equal opportunity throughout all sectors of our world is one of the foremost challenges facing us today. You can join мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± in making this change happen. Consider a gift of any amount to help us earn this extraordinary challenge gift.
