The Student Scholarship Committee promotes applications and selects the winning candidates for the annual SIA Student Travel Scholarships.

The SIA awards travel scholarships to help full-time students and professionals with less than three years of full-time experience to attend and participate in the SIA annual conferences and paper sessions. Interested students apply for these travel scholarships by submitting a concise letter outlining their demonstrated interest in and commitment to industrial archeology or a related field, and one letter of reference.
