Harold T. Pinkett Minority Student Award



Per request, SAA colleague:


Harold T. Pinkett Minority Student Award

Nominations for this annual award must be postmarked by February 28,
2001.

        Established in 1993, the Harold T. Pinkett Minority Student
Award recognizes minority undergraduate and graduate students, such
as those of African, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American descent, who
through scholastic and personal achievement manifest an interest in
becoming professional archivists and active members of SAA.

        This award supports the following objectives of SAA and SAA's
Archivists and Archives of Color Roundtable:

             1) Identifying minority students enrolled in
postsecondary educational institutions;

             2) Encouraging minority students to consider careers in
the archival profession; and

             3) Promoting increased minority participation in SAA by
exposing minority students to the experience of attending national
meetings and encouraging them to join the organization.

      To be eligible, minority students, with preference given to
full-time students, must possess a minimum scholastic grade point
average of 3.0 (B) while enrolled in postsecondary institutions
during the academic year preceding the date the award is given.

      The award consists of a certificate and a cash prize supporting
full registration and related expenses of hotel and travel for
attending the SAA annual meeting. It is jointly funded by the SAA
Archivists and Archives of Color Roundtable and is presented in late
summer during SAA's annual meeting. Requests for additional
