Check it out! More awesome field school opportunities!
The Institute for Field Research
(www.ifrglobal.org<http://www.ifrglobal.org>) has
posted its 2014 field schools.  Among the dozens programs across the world
offered
this year, four are located in the Andes:

1.
Peru-Taraco<http://www.ifrglobal.org/programs/south-america/peru-taraco>,
lead by
Abigail Levine (UCLA)
2.
Peru-Chincha<http://www.ifrglobal.org/programs/south-america/peru-chincha>,
lead
by Ben Nigra (UCLA), Chip Stanish (UCLA) and Henry Tantelean (San Marcus,
Lima)

3. Peru-Vitor<http://www.ifrglobal.org/programs/south-america/peru-vitor>,
lead by
Maria Cecilia Lozada (University of Chicago), Hans Barnard (UCLA) and Augusto
Cardona (CIARQ)

4. Colombia-Ciudad
Perdida<http://www.ifrglobal.org/programs/south-america/colombia-ciudad-perdida>,
lead by Santiago Giraldo (Global Heritage Fund).  This program is for highly
motivated students only as it is in a rough terrain, conditions are basic and
students will work at the heart of the jungle with little contact with the
outside
world during the field school.

New for the IFR for 2014 is our scholarship program.  We will provide two
types of
scholarships this year.  The first type is merit based and we will provide
a number
of $2,500 awards.  The second type is of demonstrated financial need based
and we
will provide a number of $2,000 awards.  Students may apply to both
scholarships and
if awarded, can get up to $4,500 from the IFR.  Scholarships cover only
IFR field
schools and are not transferred to any other program.

We hope everyone has an amazing holiday season! Good luck on your papers
and finals! We'll see you in the new year!
