Matching Funds Needed for Lindstrom Grant

The trustees of the Lindstrom Foundation will again provide ASOR with a grant for the support of student travel to the Annual Meeting. Tax deductible contributions for matching funds are welcomed. Monies received will be used to provide student travel fellowships. Students receive $500 awards to cover travel and hotel expenses, and in return provide 20 hours of service at the Meeting. Your donation will not only assist a promising student with the costs of traveling to and attending a professional meeting, but will also help the registration process and sessions run smoothly with the assistance of the Lindstrom fellows. The Lindstrom Foundation has allocated a maximum of $2,500 on the basis that the foundation would match gifts on a one-for-two basis, i.e. that each $1 of the Lindstrom grant be matched by $2 contributed by others for this purpose.
Individuals interested in supporting this program should send gifts directly to the Lindstrom Foundation at 2128 Alvarado St., San Leandro, CA 94577. Checks should be made payable to the "Lindstrom Foundation for Archaeological Research and Development." Letters of thanks will be sent directly to the contributors by the Foundation and donations may be counted as charitable donations for tax purposes.

Eligibility: Students must be members of ASOR and may be either undergraduates or graduate students. The Scholarships require that recipients provide up to 20 hours of service at the Annual Meeting, arranged to accommodate the sessions they would like to attend.
