The Denver Museum of Nature & Science's Department of
Anthropology and the Museum's Native American Resource Group (NARG)
invite you to consider three extraordinary programs in support
of science excellence and the Native American community. Download the
brochure here.
- Native American Annual Scholarship
Program
Annual scholarships are awarded to students who have demonstrated
leadership, academic achievement, and an interest in a science
career. Preference is given to Native American students who are
college-bound high school seniors attending a Colorado high school
or undergraduates who attend a Colorado college or university.
Awards are presented to recipients at an annual reception in the
fall. Download the
application, due annually on October 1.
- Native American Science Career Day
Native American scientists and health career
professionals come together with Native American middle school
students to discuss science careers. This day-long symposium offers
an opportunity for youngsters to hear the inspirational stories of
these professionals, expand their understanding of what it means to
have a science career, and to explore the possibilities for
achieving their own educational and career goals in science.
- Indigenous Fellowship Program
Artists, elders, curators, scholars, and other individuals from
Indigenous communities are hosted so that they can study the
Museum's 60,000-piece anthropology collection. As visiting fellows,
they work together with Department of Anthropology curators and
staff members to conduct original research and gain a deeper
understanding of the anthropology collections' cultural and
historical significance. Download the
application, applications accepted all year round.
