GRANT PROGRAM

In 2015 the Orange County Society, with the strong support of the Seigle family, launched a grant program to financially support southern California archaeology students in furthering their education and experience, and whose research will further the body of knowledge of the human past. 

Additionally, we promote the dissemination of this knowledge to the general public by having grant winners present their projects as lectures in order to foster interest that will translate into continued and expanding societal and financial support of archaeology and the grant program.

Each year we intend to fund one or more grants up to $2,000. In the first 5 years of this program we have distributed $20,000 to 11 worthy graduate students.
