For awards that need preselection from the Anthropology department, the graduate committee will use the following criteria for evaluating each proposal.  The following two criteria will be applied to each award and will be the first to be applied.

• The academic standing and state of progress towards their degree. 
• The support of their advisor as seen in the letter of support. 

• The extent to which the proposal has a realistic and executable research or writing plan attached to the proposal.
• The extent to which awarding of the proposal contribute to the Department’s goals in terms of encouraging a diverse graduate student body.
• If a student is in good standing and has strong advisor support but has not received any awards or support to date will also be taken into account.
