Congratulations to this years recipient of the Thomas H. Naylor Scholarship,
PhD Candidate - Angela Chavez! Angela received her scholarship at the EPAS picnic on July 21, 2007.
 
The El Paso Archaeological Society is pleased to announce the Thomas H.
Naylor Student Paper Competition, for Spring 2008.
The
winning entry will receive a cash prize of $1,000 and publication of the
paper in the Artifact, the Journal of the El Paso Archaeological
Society. The competition is only open to bona fide undergraduate and
graduate students of any recognized college or university.
Guidelines for Thomas H. Naylor Scholarship Paper Competition:
-
The student must be
at the sophomore level or above, who is in good standing and who has a
commitment to anthropology, archaeology, history, ethnology, or a
related subject.
-
Deadline for
submission of papers will be June 1, 2008. The winning entry will be
notified by June 15, 2008.
-
The award will be
given in a lump sum to the student at the beginning of the academic
year. The choice of institution is the student’s.
-
The student will
provide four hard copies and one computer disk (CDRW or DVD/RW) of the
paper that has been entered. Please see Guidelines for Thomas H. Naylor
Scholarship Authors.
-
The papers will be
judged on a 40-point scoring system, 10 points for correct length, 10
points for relevance, 10 points for being well written/formatted, and 10
points for original research. Winners will be chosen during the
Scholarship Committee meeting, in which the scores will be posted and
averaged. Each paper will be discussed from the lowest score to the
highest. A list of comments will be compiled. Typically a winner will
be selected by consensual agreement of the scholarship committee. In
case of a tie, the tiebreaker will be the higher GPA of the two
contestants. If the committee finds more than one paper that has merit,
then that author may be asked to resubmit the paper for inclusion in the
Artifact as a regular submission.
-
A student that has
received the scholarship award for one year may submit a new paper and
again apply for the next year, following the same application
procedure. Students may submit only one paper per award year.
-
In the event no
suitable paper is found, the Society may withhold the award during a
given year.
-
Information about the scholarship will be publicized beginning in
January 2008 at anthropology departments of universities in the
southwest and in the area media. The Society will accept papers
beginning in January 2008 and up to June 1, 2008. Paper received
after June 1, 2008 will not be
considered.
-
Decision of the El
Paso Archaeological Society Scholarship Committee is final.
-
The El Paso
Archaeological Society Scholarship Committee will consist of four
members of the El Paso Archaeological Society.
-
In addition to the
paper that is to be submitted, all students will provide a cover letter,
containing the following information: name, address, phone number, and
e-mail address. A statement of educational goals, a brief history of
activities, and previous research, must be included. The student will
