014
This past summer, volunteers donated their time, skills and strength to archaeological excavations throughout the Biblical world. Their relentless energy and perseverance kept the digs running at full speed. For the 2014 season, BAR awarded scholarships of $1,000 each to 25 qualified volunteers who would not otherwise have been able to participate.
This year’s winners were chosen from a pool of more than 140 applicants. The diverse group includes students and professionals who were accepted to dig at sites in Israel and Jordan.
On behalf of the scholarship winners, BAR offers our sincere thanks to the generous donors who made this year’s scholarship program possible:
