National Collegiate Honors Society for Anthropology |
Have you considered recognizing the academic achievements of students in your department? You can do this by starting a Lambda Alpha chapter at your university. As an Honor Society, Lambda Alpha serves to recognize superiority, providing incentive for exceptional performance by granting certificates of accomplishment. Since individual chapters are free to organize their own programs, this provides an opportunity for faculty and students to work together on mutually advantageous projects. The winning of an annually awarded national scholarship provides $5000 to a deserving graduating senior major in anthropology. A Graduate Research Grant is designed to encourage overseas thesis research. The award is variable ranging from $2000 to $6000. Only applicants from chartered departments qualify to compete for these awards. Since the editorial policy of the Lambda Alpha Journal provides for 50% of its space to be reserved for student publication, this offers a unique occasion for students to see their own work in print on a national level. The National Office is also interested in the possibility of organizing an international federation of anthropology honoraries and invites inquiries from national anthropology honorary groups in other countries. |
