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 graduate students and up to $2,500 to undergraduates, who may be facing financial difficulties as a result of the covid crisis. We invite applications from students whose work may be in any area that relates to Herculaneum: archaeology and archaeological science; heritage management; the environs; literature; history and reception; papyrology; and education concerning these subjects. Your work must have implications for Herculaneum specifically (i.e. not generally in the Bay of Naples).

Contact by email herculaneum@byu.edu for further information.

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.
