Dear Zooarchers, 
   it is time once again to remind those of you who are (or are supervising) women in the first two years of their graduate programme in zooarchaeology that the Dienje Kenyon Fellowship deadline is approaching. Please read the announcement below - and note that the deadline for submissions has changed from previous years and is not December 1st.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who responded to the request for funds for this fellowship - the announcement is still posted on Bone Commons for those of you who are still considering a donation.
Thank you,
Prof. A Burke

The Dienje Kenyon Fellowship		

A fellowship in honor of the late Dienje M. E. Kenyon is offered to support the research of women archaeologists in the early stages of their graduate training. An award of $500 U.S. will be made to a student pursuing research in zooarchaeology, which was Kenyon's specialty. To qualify for the award, applicants must be enrolled in a graduate degree program focusing on archaeology with the intention of receiving either the M.A. or Ph.D. on a topic related to zooarchaeology, and must be in the first two years of graduate studies. Strong preference will be given to students working with faculty members with zooarchaeological expertise.

Special requirements:
•	A statement of proposed research related to zooarchaeology, toward the conduct of which the award would be applied, of no more than 1500 words, including a brief statement indicating how the award would be spent in support of that research. 
• A curriculum vitae. 
•	Two letters of support from individuals familiar with the applicant's work and research potential. One of these letters must be from the student's primary advisor, and must indicate the year in which the applicant began graduate studies. 

Deadline: The statement and curriculum vitae should be sent as an email attachment in Microsoft Word. Letters of support should be e-mailed separately by the people providing them. Applications are due no later than December 1st, 2008.
