Please note: You must be a member of the AHGBI in order to apply for these awards. The Membership Secretary will accept applications at any time. However, please note that you should aim to submit your application form at the start of the academic year to ensure that you are eligible to apply for awards in that academic year. In all cases, you should submit your membership application first, before applying for any awards. You can still apply for awards whilst your membership is being processed, and until you have received formal confirmation of your membership being approved. In these circumstances, your application will be considered, but you will be unable to receive any actual award until your membership is approved.
