2015 IFR Merit Based Scholarships for International Applicants

Applications are open for the 2015 IFR Merit Based Scholarships for International Applicants. The Institute for Field Research would like to support promising young scholars that may become future leaders –both within and outside archaeology. It is hope that regardless of the career path such students may take, an archaeology field school will establish a lifelong relationship with the discipline and an understanding for the importance of the past to collective human future.
