Any student currently enrolled at any HBCU is eligible to participate in the program. Preference may be given to sophomores and juniors, but seniors and currently enrolled freshmen are also encouraged to express interest. In order to be considered, please fill out the expression of interest form, which can be found below.
Participants should have excellent academics, a passion for ancient Egypt or the ancient world in general, interest in conducting cutting edge academic research, and a commitment to increasing diversity in academia and challenging existing Egyptological opinions and assumptions.
The form below consists of some basic questions as well as two, longer questions. In addition, we ask that you upload an unofficial transcript and provide the name of one faculty member who can serve as a reference.
Please note the deadline to be considered for our summer 2022 cohort has been extended to February 21, 2022 at 8pm EST. We will get back to you in early March 2022.
