Application for a grant from the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society
The Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society was established in 1961 by Dr Richard Barnett, Dr Alec
Lerner, Professor Yigael Yadin and Leon Shalit. In 2015 it will offer a small number of grants
to encourage students in Great Britain to gain practical archaeological experience in Israel. These
grants usually take the form of part or the whole of the cost of travel between the two countries.
However, applications for other purposes within the general concerns of the Society will also be
considered.
I enclose/attach a form for you to fill in when making your application to the Society. Please
either address this to:
The Executive Secretary
Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society
2nd Floor, Supreme House
300 Regents Park Road
London N3 2JX
or, for preference, please e-mail it to: sheilarford1@sky.com
THIS FORM SHOULD REACH THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY BY
FRIDAY 27th FEBRUARY 2015
Applications received after this date will not be considered.
Please note that we cannot process any application without two suitable references (see the form
for details.) These can be e-mailed to the Executive Secretary and, in addition, a hard copy of the
reference should be sent to the address above.
Applicants must be studying in the UK at the time of their application and must be members of
the Society. Selection for grants will be on the basis of academic merit and evidence, in the
written statements submitted by applicants, of a commitment to a career in archaeology.
If a grant is offered and accepted, but the project does not materialize, the grant must be returned
as soon as possible. If a change of plan is necessary applicants must seek approval from the
Committee in advance. This will not affect the chances of success of any subsequent application
you make in another year. If the project is carried out, it is a condition of acceptance that a short
report of about 500 words should be submitted to the Society by the end of October of the year in
which the grant is used. The report may be included in Strata, the Society’s Bulletin.
Yours sincerely
