General Information

The American Friends of Herculaneum (AFOH)are pleased to announce a competition for one or more research grants of up to a total of $3,500 available to undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs. We invite applications from students whose work may be on a topic related primarily to the study of Herculaneum, but also to other Vesuvian sites. Eligible topics include, but are not limited to archaeology, architecture, art history, conservation, history, historiography, museology, papyrology, epigraphy, and philology. Participation in summer schools, field schools, and photographic campaigns are also eligible.

Application Details

Application materials include an advisor/supervisor reference, transcript, application form, letter of application (including project description, project dates, and budget with explanations). 

It is expected that awards will be followed by a brief written report. Recipients of these awards will be encouraged to contribute to Herculaneum Archaeology and/or to the American Friends of Herculaneum panel at an upcoming SCS/AIA meeting.

Both letters should be addressed to Carol Mattusch, President of the American Friends of Herculaneum, at mattusch@gmu.edu.
