The Keith and Nong Branigan Bursary

The Keith and Nong Branigan Bursary provides modest financial assistance to support postgraduate and early career (within 5 years of receipt of doctoral award) research on Aegean Archaeology. Established in memory of Keith and Nong Branigan, the Award seeks to encourage and facilitate innovative research in Aegean pre-history.

One or two awards (up to £800) are available to support research expenses that would enable work that might not otherwise be undertaken. Applications may be made for, but are not limited to, grants towards the maintenance costs of extended research visits to museums, archives, and other study centres; travel and subsistence costs incurred during fieldwork.

All informal inquiries should be directed at assistant.director@bsa.ac.uk
