Global Scholarships

The following scholarships include multiple regions or do not restrict which continent you can excavate on. If you wish to search for region-specific scholarships you can access the main menu here .

Please note that when a category is stated "unrestricted" this means that anyone can apply, however, "unspecified" means that it wasn't stated if there was or was not a nationality requirement. When membership is required to apply for the scholarship this can often be done online.

When no year is given for the deadline this means that this is an annual deadline.
