The Mary Schweitzer Scholarship for Excellence in Anthropology was established to honor Professor Mary Schweitzer, a distinguished anthropologist who significantly contributed to the discipline during her tenure at 69ɫ. Professor Schweitzer taught anthropology at 69ɫ from 2002 to 2003 and again from 2004 to 2005.

The scholarship was created by Professor Schweitzer’s dedication to advancing anthropology and her commitment to nurturing the next generation of scholars. It is funded through the generosity of CAA’05 alumnae Professor Schweitzer, her family, and her friends.

This annual scholarship supports students with exceptional academic achievements and a clear potential to contribute to the development of anthropology in Central Asia. It is a tribute to Professor Schweitzer’s lasting influence and the unwavering support of her network of donors.

We commend your hard work, dedication, and passion for anthropology. May this recognition inspire you to continue striving for excellence and achieving your goals.

Congratulations once again, and best wishes for your future endeavors!
