The Carr/Reid Archaeology Bursary for the Boyd Archaeological Field School

During the 2010 field school support from our alumni and friends and administrative assistance by the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto allowed us to launch a bursary providing 50% of the tuition cost to support one deserving student. With continued and growing support from our alumni, we are thrilled to be able to offer multiple students the opportunity for a 50% reduction in course tuition through the Carr/Reid Bursary! Alumni and other friends of the course are asked to please contact Linda Craib (416-661-6600 ext.5207) or Helen Lee (ext.5276) at the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto to contribute to this legacy!

For 34 years, Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA) has been educating students through Canada's longest running high school creditable archaeology field course (IDC4U). This bursary honours two individuals who shared a vision for hands-on archaeology education at the high school level in the 1970s and who were committed administrators and teachers of the course for more than 25 years: Terry Carr and Ray Reid. Their immense contributions to the Field School will always be treasured.

Evaluation is based on the financial need of the student and their passion to explore the discipline of archaeology.

Please be specific in your letter about your desire to take the course and why the bursary is critical for you to be able to attend the Boyd Archaeological Field School.
