Notes:
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens, one of America’s most distinguished centers devoted to advanced teaching and research in the humanities, was founded in 1881 to provide American graduate students and scholars a base for their studies in the history and civilization of the Greek world. Today, 126 years later, it is still a teaching institution, providing graduate students a unique opportunity to study firsthand the sites and monuments of Greece. The School is also a superb resource for senior scholars pursuing research in fields ranging from antiquity to modern Greece, thanks to its internationally renowned libraries, the Blegen, dedicated to classical antiquity, and the Gennadius, which concentrates on the Greek world after the end of antiquity.
The School is open to qualified students and scholars at colleges or universities in the U.S. or Canada unless otherwise noted. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, sex, sexual orientation, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, or disability when considering admission to any form of membership. A number of grants and fellowships are available.

Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Awards
The Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Awards were introduced in an attempt to encourage and support the study of all aspects of the Eastern Region's archaeology and history by its young people. The Awards were first presented in 2007.
The more Young People become aware and involved in the study and research of the archaeology and history of their local landscape and community, the more it will enhance their sense of belonging and develop their citizenship skills.
These Young People are the Archaeologists and Historians of Tomorrow, it is up to all of us to encourage and nurture their interest in the Landscape in which they live, their Past and their Local Heritage Today....
The Cambridgeshire Association for Local History is asking people to nominate Young People for CYPHA - the Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Award. Our aim is to reward and recognise History related work carried out by Young People in Eastern Region.
The planned work, research or project can be very broad based, our main aim is for Young People to have fun and learn about their landscape, community and their past. They may want to base their project on their Family's History or on their Village's Archaeology or History or they might want to cast their net further afield to a wider East Anglia based project or they might just be a budding Archaeologist - the basic rule is if in doubt
Please Contact us, to discuss their ideas.....
The Closing date for Entries is the 31st March each year

Notes:
The Academy launched a new Conference Support Scheme in 2007-08, designed to promote the dissemination of advanced research. Conference convenors may apply for any combination of the following: (a) financial assistance, whether for bringing key speakers to the UK (or other location if the event is to be held abroad), or for a wider range of expenses; (b) use of the British Academy as a venue; (c) organisational assistance from the Academy’s conference team; (d) subsequent publication of proceedings by the Academy. (Please note that applications will not be entertained for (d) alone.) This scheme also provides an opportunity for a conference to be adopted into the Academy’s own Events diary. The Academy welcomes applications for conferences held in collaboration with other organisations. Applications will not be considered for less than £1,000. The maximum award is £20,000. Conferences attracting the higher levels of support should be at least partly aimed at disseminating the results of research to a broader public, and the Academy particularly welcomes applications that show how public interest might be engaged in the topics discussed.
This scheme amalgamates the separate streams of support previously available under the British Conference Grants scheme, the Worldwide Congress Grants scheme, and the Academy’s Academic Meetings programme.

Sally Christian 1953-2008
In February of this year, CCE archaeology student Sally Christian lost a long and difficult fight against cancer. She will be much missed by both fellow students and her tutors. In recent years Sally had followed up her interest in archaeology by completing the Certificate in Archaeology and then registering for the Diploma in Archaeology. She was a keen, able and popular student. Other interests included music and horses, and her successful career in hospitals and latterly jointly running a carehome with her husband, John Patty. Before her death, Sally very generously and anonymously set up the CCE Archaeology Fund (now to be known as the Sally Christian Archaeology Bequest). The main aim of the fund is to provide a source of funding available to CCE archaeology students who wish to undertake various practical archaeology training courses or to participate in/attend archaeological projects or conferences. Priority is to be given to students in the earlier years of their studies to help them explore their interests in different aspects of archaeology. A large number of students have already benefited from the Archaeology Bequest and others who may be interested in seeking such funding will find further details below. Donations in Sally's memory may be made to Cancer Research UK or to the Sally Christian Archaeology Bequest at the University of Sussex.
David Rudling
CCE Convenor for Archaeology
Introduction
This fund has been set up as a result of a very generous bequest by the late Sally Christian, a former CCE archaeology student. The main aim of the fund is to provide a source of funding and bursaries available to CCE archaeology students who wish to undertake various practical archaeology training courses, or participate in/attend archaeological projects or conferences. Priority is to be given to students in the earlier years of their studies to help them explore their interests in different aspects of archaeology. Subject to demand for the above (which is the main objective), some of the annual funding may also be made available for CCE student or staff fieldwork projects (e.g. for equipment or plant hire) where these projects can demonstrate a benefit to CCE archaeology students generally (eg in terms of participation).
Applications for funding
Those wishing to apply for funding must fill out an application form and submit this to David Rudling, Senior Lecturer in Archaeology. Applicants are required to state why they wish to undertake the course/project/event for which they seek funding, and how they think they will benefit. The applications will be considered upon receipt and all applicants informed asap of decisions made. Any funds not allocated by the end of each calendar year will be added to the amount available in the next funding year. The maximum amount available to any one individual regarding training course or conference fees is £200.
Requirements of applicants
1.It is a requirement of all student applications that those receiving funding will maintain a field notebook (following CCE guidelines) during all practical work. If requested this field notebook should be made available for inspection by a member of the CCE archaeology staff. In contrast, those attending a conference should produce a brief report and submit this to David Rudling.
2.Students are required to keep receipts for all expenses covered by the CCE Archaeology Fund and to submit these upon completion of the project/event to David Rudling for audit purposes.

Notes:
Applications are invited by the York Foundation for Conservation and Craftsmanship for bursaries to assist the training of Craftsmen and conservators. Bursaries of up to £1,500 each are available to further the knowledge and skills of craftsmen and conservators at various stages of their careers. This can include CPD courses. Bursaries of up to £3,000 are offered to encourage and assist established craftsmen and conservators to take on a new apprentice/trainee.
The total sum available is £12,000, made up of £8000 from the Foundation’s own Bursary Fund, £2,000 funded by the York Company of Merchant Taylors, and £1,000 each from the Freemasons and from the Historic Houses Association (Yorkshire Region) in association with Coutts Bank. While the Merchant Taylors award is restricted to young people with links to York and its surrounding area, the other awards have no such restriction (though if all other things prove equal, preference will be given to an applicant living, training or employed in the Yorkshire Region).
Applications will be judged on merit and need, and there are no restrictions on who may apply. Employers may apply on behalf of employees. Bursaries will not generally be awarded to assist the funding of a student’s undergraduate degree or equivalent course. In the case of individual applications preference will be given to those seeking advanced skills or training in crafts/specialities in short supply.
The Trustees are particularly keen to facilitate the taking on of new trainees/apprentices. This would include someone starting out or part way through a three year apprenticeship, or a person not yet in the trade/profession but who, having had some basic skills training or relevant experience, needs further skills training to qualify. Applications for such bursaries would normally be expected from the potential employer, and could be used in a variety of ways to reduce the employer’s costs, e.g. those related to the introductory training demanded by legal requirements. That should not preclude applications from employers for other purposes, nor from potential trainees who have identified a committed potential employer.
In 2008 seven awards were made ranging in value from £500 to £2,000. The winners included a self-employed carpenter, a firm of decorative plasterers, and conservators of books and armour. A full list of 2008 and previous year’s winners can be found here.
Application forms can be downloaded here or may be obtained from the Secretary of the Foundation

Notes:
Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Awards
The Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Awards were introduced in an attempt to encourage and support the study of all aspects of the Eastern Region's archaeology and history by its young people. The Awards were first presented in 2007.
The more Young People become aware and involved in the study and research of the archaeology and history of their local landscape and community, the more it will enhance their sense of belonging and develop their citizenship skills.
These Young People are the Archaeologists and Historians of Tomorrow, it is up to all of us to encourage and nurture their interest in the Landscape in which they live, their Past and their Local Heritage Today....
The Cambridgeshire Association for Local History is asking people to nominate Young People for CYPHA - the Cambridgeshire Young Persons History Award. Our aim is to reward and recognise History related work carried out by Young People in Eastern Region.
The planned work, research or project can be very broad based, our main aim is for Young People to have fun and learn about their landscape, community and their past. They may want to base their project on their Family's History or on their Village's Archaeology or History or they might want to cast their net further afield to a wider East Anglia based project or they might just be a budding Archaeologist - the basic rule is if in doubt
Please Contact us, to discuss their ideas.....

Notes:
Sally Christian 1953-2008
In February of this year, CCE archaeology student Sally Christian lost a long and difficult fight against cancer. She will be much missed by both fellow students and her tutors. In recent years Sally had followed up her interest in archaeology by completing the Certificate in Archaeology and then registering for the Diploma in Archaeology. She was a keen, able and popular student. Other interests included music and horses, and her successful career in hospitals and latterly jointly running a carehome with her husband, John Patty. Before her death, Sally very generously and anonymously set up the CCE Archaeology Fund (now to be known as the Sally Christian Archaeology Bequest). The main aim of the fund is to provide a source of funding available to CCE archaeology students who wish to undertake various practical archaeology training courses or to participate in/attend archaeological projects or conferences. Priority is to be given to students in the earlier years of their studies to help them explore their interests in different aspects of archaeology. A large number of students have already benefited from the Archaeology Bequest and others who may be interested in seeking such funding will find further details below. Donations in Sally's memory may be made to Cancer Research UK or to the Sally Christian Archaeology Bequest at the University of Sussex.
David Rudling
CCE Convenor for Archaeology
Introduction
This fund has been set up as a result of a very generous bequest by the late Sally Christian, a former CCE archaeology student. The main aim of the fund is to provide a source of funding and bursaries available to CCE archaeology students who wish to undertake various practical archaeology training courses, or participate in/attend archaeological projects or conferences. Priority is to be given to students in the earlier years of their studies to help them explore their interests in different aspects of archaeology. Subject to demand for the above (which is the main objective), some of the annual funding may also be made available for CCE student or staff fieldwork projects (e.g. for equipment or plant hire) where these projects can demonstrate a benefit to CCE archaeology students generally (eg in terms of participation).
Applications for funding
Those wishing to apply for funding must fill out an application form and submit this to David Rudling, Senior Lecturer in Archaeology. Applicants are required to state why they wish to undertake the course/project/event for which they seek funding, and how they think they will benefit. The applications will be considered upon receipt and all applicants informed asap of decisions made. Any funds not allocated by the end of each calendar year will be added to the amount available in the next funding year. The maximum amount available to any one individual regarding training course or conference fees is £200.
Requirements of applicants
1.It is a requirement of all student applications that those receiving funding will maintain a field notebook (following CCE guidelines) during all practical work. If requested this field notebook should be made available for inspection by a member of the CCE archaeology staff. In contrast, those attending a conference should produce a brief report and submit this to David Rudling.
2.Students are required to keep receipts for all expenses covered by the CCE Archaeology Fund and to submit these upon completion of the project/event to David Rudling for audit purposes.
Grants and Bursaries for the Training of Craftsmen and Craftsmanship
York Foundation for Conservation and Craftsmanship
United Kingdom
conservationyork@hotmail.com Click
for website and further details
Notes:
Applications are invited by the York Foundation for Conservation and Craftsmanship for bursaries to assist the training of Craftsmen and conservators. Bursaries of up to £1,500 each are available to further the knowledge and skills of craftsmen and conservators at various stages of their careers. This can include CPD courses. Bursaries of up to £3,000 are offered to encourage and assist established craftsmen and conservators to take on a new apprentice/trainee.
The total sum available is £12,000, made up of £8000 from the Foundation’s own Bursary Fund, £2,000 funded by the York Company of Merchant Taylors, and £1,000 each from the Freemasons and from the Historic Houses Association (Yorkshire Region) in association with Coutts Bank. While the Merchant Taylors award is restricted to young people with links to York and its surrounding area, the other awards have no such restriction (though if all other things prove equal, preference will be given to an applicant living, training or employed in the Yorkshire Region).
Applications will be judged on merit and need, and there are no restrictions on who may apply. Employers may apply on behalf of employees. Bursaries will not generally be awarded to assist the funding of a student’s undergraduate degree or equivalent course. In the case of individual applications preference will be given to those seeking advanced skills or training in crafts/specialities in short supply.
The Trustees are particularly keen to facilitate the taking on of new trainees/apprentices. This would include someone starting out or part way through a three year apprenticeship, or a person not yet in the trade/profession but who, having had some basic skills training or relevant experience, needs further skills training to qualify. Applications for such bursaries would normally be expected from the potential employer, and could be used in a variety of ways to reduce the employer’s costs, e.g. those related to the introductory training demanded by legal requirements. That should not preclude applications from employers for other purposes, nor from potential trainees who have identified a committed potential employer.
In 2008 seven awards were made ranging in value from £500 to £2,000. The winners included a self-employed carpenter, a firm of decorative plasterers, and conservators of books and armour. A full list of 2008 and previous year’s winners can be found here.
Application forms can be downloaded here or may be obtained from the Secretary of the Foundation
