About this program

The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) offers a broad portfolio of scholarships, fellowships, grants, and awards to fund archaeological fieldwork, research, publication, site preservation, travel, education, and public outreach worldwide. Programs range from travel and study fellowships and student field‑school scholarships to publication subventions and site‑preservation grants (e.g., Site Preservation awards up to $15,000) as well as prizes for publications and service. Eligibility and application requirements vary by program but commonly target AIA members, professional archaeologists, graduate and undergraduate students, local AIA societies, and international scholars, and require projects to demonstrate relevance to archaeology or heritage preservation. Applicants must consult each program’s webpage for specific deadlines, award amounts, membership or nomination requirements, and submission materials.
