The American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) is proud to announce that applications are now open for its annual short-term AEF and RSM grants!
Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF)
ARCE’s AEF sustains an ongoing grants program to support the conservation, preservation, and documentation of Egypt’s cultural heritage and the dissemination of knowledge about that heritage.
The short-term AEF grant (for up to one year) is designed for highly focused professional projects that serve the cultural heritage needs of Egyptian antiquities that are more than 100 years old.
Projects may include:
- the preservation or protection of sites, buildings, or objects;
- the participation of conservators or other suitable specialists in antiquities projects;
- the training of both conservators and students;
- the production of publications and presentations that disseminate knowledge about Egypt’s cultural heritage. Priority will be given to those publication projects that further the mission of excavation, documentation, and conservation of Egypt’s cultural heritage.
