The Archaeology of Portugal Fellowship can be used to support research and study related to the archaeology of Portugal, including the Autonomous Regions of the Azores and Madeira. This includes, but is not limited to, excavations, research projects, colloquia, symposia, publications, and travel for research or to academic meetings for the purpose of presenting papers on the archaeology of Portugal. The fellowship can also be used by Portuguese nationals (archaeologists and archaeology graduate students) to support research and study in the US. Individuals applying for this type of support are not limited to the study of Portuguese archaeology and funds can be used to research and study any archaeological region and topic. Applicants from the U.S. or countries other than Portugal must be AIA members at the graduate or professional level, and must submit in their US transcripts. Applicants from Portugal may apply without an active AIA membership but will be required to become a member if selected to receive the Fellowship. Fellowship recipients who already hold PhD's are required to become AIA members at the Professional level. Recipients that are graduate students are required to become AIA student members in order to accept the fellowship. Portuguese graduate students wishing to study in the United States must be enrolled in or have been accepted to an accredited US university or college, and must provide evidence that they have been authorized to travel to and study in the US. Portuguese nationals seeking funds for research or study in the US must provide a detailed plan of their project that includes the institutions and organizations with which they will be affiliated while in the US. All Portuguese applicants must provide proof of Portuguese citizenship via passport information.
