Applications are now open for the biennial scholarship offered by the Australian National University (ANU) Canberra Friends of the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens (AAIA) and supported by the Hellenic Club of Canberra.
The scholarship is designed to assist a research student or scholar, or an artist, whose research requires a period in Greece.
ANU is one of 10 universities who are members of the AAIA, which aims to promote the study of ancient, mediaeval and modern Greece in both Greece and
Australia, and is the focal point for Australian research and excavations in Greece.
The Friends groups, which are all around Australia, support the AAIA and offer scholarships for students to visit Greece to pursue either their research projects or take part in the AAIA’s excavations.
With generous support from the Hellenic Club of Canberra, the Canberra Friends of the AAIA award a scholarship every 2 years, for a student or other scholar from the ACT to spend between two and 12 months working on a research project in Greece.
The generous scholarship offers a return airfare to Greece and a $4,000 contribution to expenses while conducting research in Greece. The scholarship must be taken up in 2015.
