AHGBI Conference and Research Travel Awards for Graduate Students
AHGBI Research Travel Award for Graduate Students
NEW! Updated 2025.
The AHGBI offers an annual research travel award of £750 for graduate students (masters and doctoral). The award is open to all graduate students (masters and doctoral) in the UK and Ireland who have joined the AHGBI and who do not have a grant that includes maintenance payments as well as fees. The award will be given to support a research trip related to the applicant’s current programme of study and should advance scholarly research in the languages and cultures of the Iberian peninsula and/or those cultures associated with them throughout the world. We envisage that this research trip may also lead to other outcomes and publications and the Association asks that recipients share details of any other outputs with us and acknowledge the support given through this award. The Association encourages recipients of this award to share their findings in a conference paper at one of our annual conferences in the future.
The application must be for a research trip which takes place between 1st June and 31st December 2025.
Send the application form by email to the PGR Officer Fiona Noble (fiona.noble@stir.ac.uk).
Application deadline for 2025 : 5pm on Monday 2nd June 2025.
