Call for Applications
Society for Church Archaeology Research Grant
Due by 30 November 2025
The Society for Church Archaeology invites applicants for its annual research grant. The amount requested should not exceed £1,500 and application is open to members of the Society proposing a research project, including fieldwork where appropriate, in any area of church archaeology. Applications from those outside the Society will also be considered, so long as they become a member, if successful.
The grant can cover, or contribute to, research expenses, including travel, materials and accommodation, but not capital equipment nor the applicant’s salary (although specialist’s fees are eligible). The Society is pleased to accept applications for pilot projects; funding to help attract larger grants; discrete projects within the framework of a larger project; and small stand-alone projects. We welcome applications from academics, professionals, non-professionals and particularly from early career scholars and postgraduate students (although the Society will not cover university fees).
How to Apply
Please read the Notes for Applicants, which outlines the conditions of the grant, and use the application form provided. Applicants should email the form to Dr Kristján Ahronson at kristjan.ahronson@alumni.utoronto.ca by November 30th each year. Decisions are made in January of the following year.
