by the CSR, has been established to make an annual award of up to $2000 each spring to a graduate student in the Division of the Arts and Humanities in support of that student’s research on myth. The award shall be supplemented by $1000 from the Division of
the Arts and Humanities and by up to $1000 from the student’s home department, for a possible total of up to $4000.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#555555">Studies of myth from any culture in any period of human history are eligible for consideration. For the purposes of this award, a “myth” is “a story that is sacred to and shared by a group of people who find
important meaning in it, as conveyed through narrative, art or ritual.” Eligible projects include, but are not limited to: the relationship between myths and religious practices, the uses of myth in literary and artistic productions, and the reuse of one culture’s
myths by other cultures. Possible approaches include, but are not limited to, the anthropological, the literary, the historical, and the folkloristic, as well as creative approaches that aim to re-present a myth as part of a new artistic product.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Helvetica;color:#555555">Candidates will be selected based on merit, although some preference will be given to proposals that cite specific need for funding for travel or other expenses related to research or to the performance or production
of other artistic projects. Preference will be given to candidates whose projects are part of a doctoral dissertation (with exceptions granted for students in departments that offer only a master’s degree).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
