J. Joseph Edgette Student Fellowship Fund
Biography
The Association for Gravestone Studies (AGS) promotes the academic study of gravemarkers, cemeteries and related topics internationally through its annual conference and peer-reviewed journal Markers. For many years, scholarships have been awarded to students whose educational pursuits are aligned with AGS’ founding purpose in 1977 — to further the study and preservation of gravestones. In 2025, AGS’s student scholarship award was renamed the “Joe Edgette Student Fellowship” in honor of Dr. Edgette, a longtime educator who encouraged students to become active in gravestone and cemetery studies.
Joe Edgette Student Fellowship aspires to fund a free or subsidized full registration at the AGS annual conference. It is, however, entirely dependent on donations, and thus awarded amount varies from year to year.
