Ochs Scholarship
Ochs Scholarships are awards for post-graduate and independent research projects in European archaeology, art and architecture from the Roman period until the nineteenth century.
Applications for the one-year scholarships are invited from students who are completing theses for post-graduate degrees and who have access to no other sources of funding, and from independent researchers for projects conducted either privately or under the umbrella of a larger organisation, such as a local history or archaeology society.
Jill Franklin Fellowship in Romanesque Architectural History
The fellowship has been established in memory of Jill Franklin (1945-2023), and provides an opportunity to spend a month in Rome pursuing research into Romanesque architecture and arts.
Proposals do not need to be specific to Rome or central Italy. Indeed, the purpose could be to enjoy a month’s thinking and writing time with access to first-class libraries in pursuit of a research objective whose geographical parameters lie outside Italy.
Reginald Taylor & Lord Fletcher Essay Prize
The Reginald Taylor and Lord Fletcher Essay Prize is awarded for the best unpublished essay submitted on any subject of art-historical, archaeological or antiquarian interest within the period from the Roman era to 1830. The competition is not restricted to members of the Association.
