“The Michael Ventris Memorial Fund was founded in 1957 in appreciation of his contribution to the fields of Mycenaean civilization and architecture. The Trustees of the Fund offer an annual award of up to ¬£2,500 to a junior scholar for research into Mycenaean studies or kindred subjects: (1) Linear B and other Bronze Age scripts of the Aegean and Cyprus, and their historical and cultural connections and (2) all other aspects of the Bronze Age of the Aegean and Cyprus. It is intended that the Award should support a specific project, which may be part of a continuing programme of post-doctoral research. The Award is open to applicants from all countries who have completed their doctorate within the past eight years. Applications are also accepted from postgraduate students who are about to complete their doctorate, although the Award is not intended to fund doctoral research per se.
Applicants should give particulars of their qualifications and academic record, and should outline the work they intend to pursue in the event of the Award being made to them, including projected costs. Applications should not exceed 6 single-sided pages (A4). They should be submitted by email, ideally as a PDF attachment.
Applicants must also supply the names and addresses of two referees, and, at the same time, ask the referees to write independently in support of their application.”
