Merit-Based Equity Scholarships



Donald Tugby Postgraduate Archaeological Research Prize Application Form

The Donald Tugby Postgraduate Archaeological Research Prize was established in 2010 and is maintained by the income of an endowment gift of $23,000 from Dr Donald Tugby, who taught anthropology at The University of Queensland from 1958 to 1986. Dr Tugby introduced statistics to archaeology and initiated extensive archaeological fieldwork on North Stradbroke Island. The prize is to encourage and reward research excellence in archaeology by facilitating postgraduate student participation in the global archaeological research community.

The prize is valued at $1000 and is to be used to support travel, publication, or fieldwork costs related to postgraduate research activities.

An applicant is eligible for the award of the prize if the applicant –

a) is enrolled in a higher degree in the field of archaeology.

Applications are considered in order of merit, based on

i) peer-reviewed publication(s) (in press or published), with an emphasis on highly ranked journals or other publications;

ii) successful competitive grant applications;

iii) conference participation, with preference for conferences of international standing;

iv) previous prizes awarded;

v) proposed use of the funds to support travel, or publication, or fieldwork costs related to postgraduate research activities.

The recipient of the prize must –

a) include, in any conference, presentation, or paper that is published, and in the thesis, a statement acknowledging support from the prize; and

b) present a seminar in the School of Social Science on the research activities undertaken as a holder of the prize. The seminar may function as a normal research higher degree milestone seminar.
