Previous Winners of the Ryan Heumann Anthropology Undergraduate Endowed Scholarship

The Ryan Heumann Anthropology Undergraduate Endowed Scholarship Fund is colloquially referred to as "Ryan's Travel Money" in consideration of Ryan's passion for knowledge and his love of cultural anthropology. This endowment was made possible through a major gift by Ryan's parents, Bill and Carol Traver, to the Anthropology Undergraduate Endowed Scholarship Fund in 2003. In 2004 that fund was re-named in Ryan Heumann's memory.

The endowment supports one or more awards to full-time undergraduate students majoring in anthropology to assist with the costs of faculty-sponsored independent research, research-related travel, or travel to professional academic conferences. The selection of the candidate for the award is made by the Anthropology Department. The award is made each fall and spring.
