Archaeology Scholarships
Archaeology is the perfect job for those that want to study prehistory and human history. As an archaeologist, you will spend time on dig sites, in a lab, and analyzing your findings. While in school, you will take excavation methods, dating techniques, and ancient technology classes. Finding scholarships along the way can make paying for school a little easier. Here are seven scholarships for those going into archaeology.
