GACUK encourages Greek and Cypriot-Greek graduates in archaeology to undertake post-graduate studies and research in Greek archaeology in British Universities. Applicants must be holders of First Class awards and their financial circumstances be such that they would require assistance towards further studies. To this purpose, GACUK offers scholarships* annually to successful applicants. The scholarships are primarily intended to meet the cost of fees but also, under certain circumstances, towards other relevant disbursements. The successful applicant will normally receive a scholarship for three consecutive academic sessions, subject to the recipient’s satisfactory academic progress and annual re-application. Scholarships are announced in April on this website. Application forms are available on this website and must be submitted by the date advertised. The Selection Working Party meets in July and announces its decisions shortly afterwards by e-mail to the candidate. The Selection Working Party consists of the Chair, the donors, the Academic Adviser and an external assessor, usually a British academic.

* GACUK reserves the right to defer, from time to time, the offer of one or more of its scholarships, as well as to alter the sums available for each scholarship.
