ICOM UK Bursary Fund

The ICOM UK Bursary scheme is designed to help our members participate in international museum activity such as ICOM General Conferences, meetings of ICOM International Committees (subject specialist groups) or international seminars. We offer two types of bursary; a smaller fast turnaround scheme, and a larger scheme that runs with three deadlines per year. A total of £10,000 is made available for bursaries which runs throughout the ICOM UK membership year. Small Responsive Bursary Scheme The Small Responsive Bursary Scheme is for applications of up to £250 towards the cost of international activity. These are designed to be quick turn around for events and project opportunities as they present themselves. Please refer to the application guidance before submitting an application. Core Bursary Scheme The Core Bursary Scheme for applications of up to £1,250 towards the cost of international activity. These are designed to support applicants to take part in international activity that aligns with ICOM UK’s strategic objectives. This bursary scheme has three deadlines per year, so applications must build in time for a competitive process.
