Award Descriptions:
The CSAS periodically confers two
scholarships, the Leslie A. White and the Beth Wilder Dillingham Award.
The Leslie A. White Award was
established in 1983 by the estate of Raymond L. Wilder, the father of then
President Beth Wilder Dillingham, a doctoral student of White. Dr. Wilder
had wanted to establish a memorial fund for White but was unable to do so
before his death. His wishes were made manifest through his daughter. The
award was established in honor of White's contributions to the CSAS and to
anthropology. The award is meant to assist young scholars (graduate or undergraduate) in any subfield
of anthropology with research expenses.
The Beth Wilder Dillingham Award
was established in 1989 by Mrs. Una G. Wilder and Clay Dillingham to honor Dillingham's commitment to the CSAS and the
discipline and the purpose of furthering anthropology by aiding young
scholars (graduate or undergraduate) with dependent children. This award is
meant to reflect one of Beth Dillingham's major concerns-the difficulty of
building an academic career while raising children at the same time.
Therefore it is the spirit of the award to assist graduate or undergraduate
students in any subfield of anthropology who are responsible for the care of
one or more children.
"Young scholar" does not refer to
the chronological age but rather the "academic age" of the applicant; They
cannot be an established scholar in the field of anthropology but be working
toward their degree--thus "young" in the discipline.
Award amounts vary
each year. Check announcements for amount to be awarded.

The CSAS also periodically awards prizes for best
undergraduate and best graduate student paper presented at the annual
meeting. The prize in each category is $300 and papers in any area of
anthropology are eligible.
Entries should be potentially publishable although papers that require
some editing or rewriting may be chosen for the prize. The writing
should aim for the style, format, and quality of the major anthropological
journals, and the research should be presented in the context of ongoing
anthropological issues.
