Description

The British School at Athens is delighted to offer one scholarship for doctoral scholars studying any aspect of Greece and the Greek world as defined in the BSA’s mission statement. Candidates should be studying at a UK HEI; recently graduated students who have not yet held an academic post are also eligible to apply. Scholarships will cover:

• One return flight to Greece
• One month’s membership of the British School at Athens, granting full access to all BSA facilities and a museum pass for free access to archaeological sites and museums in Greece.
• Ten days of accommodation in the BSA hostel. (The stay in Greece can be extended at the candidate’s own expense)

Candidates should have a clear plan of how they will spend their time in Greece, including a visit to at least one archaeological site or museum. Activities covered by this award might involve (but are not limited to) using the BSA library, accessing the BSA collections, visiting museums and sites, or attending conferences and events. The award will also allow the researcher to develop contacts in Athens, both in the Greek academic community and among the foreign schools and institutes, assisted by the Assistant Director and Director. Preference may be given to candidates who have not visited Greece before, and who have no access to other sources of funding.
