The SEAC Public Outreach grant supports projects that promote public awareness of archaeology in the Southeast through creative and innovative educational and outreach activities. The review committee prioritizes outreach activities that bring archaeology to community stakeholders and those individuals who have been historically marginalized in the creation of archaeological knowledge. The grant is open to anyone in or near the traditional boundaries of the southeastern culture area, and all proposals must have a tie to the southeastern states. Examples of public projects include teacher workshops, exhibits, Archaeology Week/Month activities, archaeology fairs, field trips, or other public-oriented projects.

The application is limited to 5 double-spaced pages with no less than 11 point font; and 3 pages of Addendum items, which may be included as supporting documentation.
