The British Archaeological Association invites applications for their travel grants.

Applications for travel grants are invited from students registered on post-graduate degree courses (at M.A., M.Litt., M.St., M.Phil., and Ph.D. level). Grants of up to £500 are available to cover travel for a defined purpose (such as essential site visits, attendance at an exhibition/conference, short research trip, etc). The awards will be made twice yearly, with deadlines for applications on 15 March and 15 May.

Applicants are required to provide one reference, together with a timetable and travel budget, and the objective of the travel must fall within the Association’s fields of interest (as defined below). Applicants should either be registered at a UK University or be undertaking work on material from, in, or related to the art, architecture or archaeology of the British Isles. Applicants are also responsible for asking their nominated referee to forward a reference directly to the Hon. Secretary within one week of the closing date for applications.

An application form is linked on the website: https://thebaa.org/scholarships-awards/travel-grants

Once complete, this form should be sent as an email attachment to the Awards Officer at awardsthebaa.org. Funds are limited, so the awards are competitive. If successful, the Association expects candidates to write a short account (150-350 words) of the travel facilitated by the award that could be posted on the BAA website.
