Hawai‘i Archaeological Research Project

I have just a few more questions about applying to HARP. In regards to the reference forms, is there a specification as to what two people fill them out? Do they need to both be professors or not? Also, does any kind of application fee need to be sent along with the application materials?

It is usually in your favor to have professors act as references. However, they do need to know you well enough to be able to write an insightful recommendation. You could have one from someone outside of academia, but since this is an academic program their recommendation might not be as relevant – make sure to have them write it accordingly. We need to know why you are interested in the program as a young scholar, and also acquire a general sense of how you’d fit into our project as a person. There is no application fee for applying.
