Applications are invited from university graduates of Greek or Cypriot nationality for awards to  cover the expenses of a stay in the United Kingdom (U.K.) of short duration for a specific project of  study or research in any field in which the British School is active. This comprises all areas of  Hellenic studies, including Greek and Cypriot archaeology, art, history, language, literature,  religion, philosophy, ethnography, anthropology, geography and all branches of archaeological  science. The project must be clearly defined. It must be a project which would be greatly enhanced  from access to material in libraries, museums or universities and from scholarship which is to be  found in the U.K. but not in Greece or Cyprus. 

Awards are not normally offered to those carrying out or intending to qualify for post-graduate  study in the U.K. They are not normally awarded to those carrying out full time postgraduate study  in Greece. A well-defined project may, however, justify an exception. 

The award will be no less than ₤1300 per month plus the cost of a round-trip air ticket not to  exceed £300. Preference will normally be given to applicants at an early stage in their career.  Preference may be given to those who do not have extensive experience of study in the UK. The School expects to offer at least two awards: no award will exceed three months. Award  recipients should preferably be attached for the period of their award to a British university,  museum or other appropriate institution. An advisor may be appointed. On their return from the  U.K., recipients will be expected to submit a written report to the British School on their work as  holders of the award. Applications from previous bursary holders will not normally be considered  within 5 years of the previous award. 

Before applying for an award, applicants must make at least preliminary contact with the British  institution(s) where they intend to work and the scholar(s) with whom they would like to study. Applications must be written in English and submitted through an online portal at  https://www.bsa.ac.uk/awards/bursaries/centenary-bursary/ 

The following information should be included:  

1. A Curriculum Vitae, including record of publications, if any. 
2. A statement in no more than 500 words of the research or study proposed, which must include  specific reasons for studying in the U.K. and the proposed period and place of study. 3. The names and email addresses of two referees who have agreed to provide confidential  academic references. Referees will receive an automated email asking them to upload their  references no later than 2nd December 2024. 
3. Address and phone number of applicant. 

Applications should be submitted by 5pm, 2nd December, 2024. Selected candidates will be invited  for an interview by mid-February 2025. The interviews will be conducted in English. Candidates  will be notified of the results by the end of February 2025. The awards must be taken up during  the academic year October 2025 – September 2026.
