The San Diego County Archaeological Society is pleased to offer a Native American Scholarship to promote Native American

Preference will be given to applicants connected to a tribe in San
Diego County or, alternatively, a Native American from
elsewhere in California or the United States living in our county. Applicants must attend a college or university in San Diego
County studying anthropology, archaeology, Native American
studies or a closely related field. Local candidates studying
elsewhere may be considered.

The deadline for the San Diego County Archaeological Society’s Native American Scholarship is Nov. 1.

Last year we awarded two $500 scholarships to Native Americans
from our county. This year we will have at least one scholarship
available.

There is still time to sign up for our fieldtrip this Sunday!

Come join the San Diego County Archaeological Society on Sunday, August 24th for a free tour of the hidden murals on San Diego State University campus. The tour will be led by Shannon Farnsworth, who did her graduate dissertation on the history and archaeological importance of how these art pieces reflected the changing cultural landscape of the university and the greater San Diego area from the 1930’s to the 1970’s.

The tour is open up to 30 people. We’ll meet at 11:00 am at the dome entrance to the Malcom A. Love library. The tour will last for approximately 1.5 hours, so wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water as it will likely be warm. To sign up for the tour, please e-mail Tim Wolfe at [email protected]. They can provide more detailed directions for visitor parking on the campus and getting to the dome library.

We hope to see you out there for what will be an interesting and informative tour of the lost and forgotten murals at San Diego State University.
