This event is exclusively for Fellows

Each year the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland awards grants to support high-quality research and publication relating to Scotland’s past.

About This Event

This Online Fellows’ Meeting will provide a summary of the different grants that are available and will highlight some of the exciting projects the Society has funded over the past few years.

The second part of the meeting will be a ‘Grants Surgery’ with an explanation of our grant guidance, a walkthrough of the application form, and top tips on how to write a successful application. There will also be plenty of opportunity for questions relating to our grants and application process.
