The Cornelia “Nellie” Smith Isenhour Memorial Scholarship was founded in
2009 by Dianne A. Robinson to honor her grandmother and with
contributions by other members to continue the growth of the scholarship. It
is awarded each year to a student or students majoring in Archaeology. With
the help of Dr. Charles Lucas and Hardy Johnson, Dr. Brian Rose, James B.
Pritchard Professor of Archaeology, University of Pennsylvania, Deputy
Director, Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology was found and now
recommends the students each year who he believes would benefit from our
help. The scholarship has been given each year at the Annual Meeting since
its founding.
