Joan Cogswell Donner Field School Scholarship 2025

The Joan Cogswell Donner Field School Scholarship provides up to $2,000 per student for one field school season to support students who may not have sufficient resources to pursue hands-on training in human origins research. Funds are intended to cover field school tuition and related expenses, and must be administered by the field school. The scholarship supports undergraduate and graduate students through affiliated field schools.

Financial support up to $2,000 per recipient for field school-related expenses, with potential for additional awards if expenses are below $2,000.

Open to undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in a program in countries with limited resources for fieldwork training in human origins research.

Applications must be submitted by the field school director; interested parties should contact grants@leakeyfoundation.org for the process and a link to apply if eligible.
