The Biblical Archaeology Society, publisher of BAR, offers dig scholarships of $2,000 each to people who wish to participate in a dig and demonstrate financial need. To apply, send a résumé, cover letter, and full contact information for two references (professional or academic) in one email to scholarships@bib-arch.org. Please explain where and why you want to excavate, and why you should be selected for a scholarship. Priority will be given to first-time dig participants. Applications must be received by March 31, 2021. Due to changing regulations and travel restrictions, please see our website for updates.
