Grants to Institutions The Hellenic
Society Council considers applications from institutions for small grants to
assist projects and events in the field of Hellenic Studies. Typical projects
include: ·
academic conferences ·
productions of Greek drama ·
Hellenic events The grants are
usually in the range £100-£400, but larger amounts are sometimes awarded. In
order to spread limited resources fairly, all awards are decided annually at

projects occurring during the next 18 months from the following 1 January. |

The Dover Fund: Grants to
Postgraduates and Young Scholars The Dover Fund, set
up in honour of Sir Kenneth Dover, is administered
by the Hellenic Society. Its purposes are: ·
to further the study of the history of
the Greek language in any period from the Bronze Age to the 15th century AD,
and ·
to further the edition and exegesis of Greek texts, including papyri and
inscriptions, from any period within those same limits. Grants will be made
for such purposes as: books, photography (including microfilm and xeroxing), visits to libraries, museums and sites. The sums awarded
will vary according to the needs of the applicant, but most grants will be in
the range £50 - £250; larger grants may be made from time to time at the discretion
of the awards committee. Grants will be made to (based in the UK) currently
registered research students, and, within the first five years of their
appointment, to lecturers, teaching fellows, research fellows, postdoctoral
fellows and research assistants. Potential
applicants are also reminded of the existence of the Thomas Wiedemann Fund, specially designed to assist with the
costs of visits to universities, libraries or museums in the UK or in Eire - www.thomaswiedemann.org.uk
