Conference and Research Travel Awards for Post-Graduate Students

AHGBI Research Travel Award for Post-Graduate Students

The AHGBI offers an annual research travel award of £750 for postgraduate 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 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. The research trip may lead to other outcomes, and the Association asks that recipients share such details with us and acknowledge the support given through this award, for example, by participating in one of our annual conferences in the future.

The application must be for a research trip which takes place between 1st May and 31st December 2026.

Application deadline for 2026: 5pm on Friday 22nd May 2026.

Please see the application form via the link below, and contact the PGR Officer if you have any questions.
