Ochs Scholarship

The Ochs Scholarship was established in 1994 from a bequest by Maud Lillian Ochs, and is awarded annually by the British Archaeological Association for research projects which fall within the Association’s fields of interest. These are defined as the study of archaeology, art and architecture from the Roman period until the nineteenth century, principally within Europe. The scholarships are intended to provide post-graduate students striving to write up theses with late stage funding. To be eligible  the thesis must be capable of completion within the period of the Scholarship, which is for one year from a nominated starting date by the end of the calendar year in which the scholarship is awarded. Thus, an application made in early 2023 might have a nominated starting date of October 2023 and result in the submission of a thesis by October, 2024. Applications where a substantial amount of fieldwork remains to be done are unlikely to succeed.

The next closing date for applications is 1 February, 2023.

Grants for research projects conducted either privately or under the umbrella of a larger organisation, such as a local history or archaeology society are also available.
