1. EES/CRE Bursary     

The Egypt Exploration Society (EES) is sponsoring student travel bursaries for CRE XV 2014.

Thanks to the generosity of the Egypt Exploration Society, for the first time ever at CRE, we are able to make small bursary grants of £100 to help defray travel costs for student participants. No restrictions are made for potential applicants, however, preference in consideration will go to postgraduate students with financial need who are presenting papers.  Egyptian postgraduate students studying in Egypt who wish to attend and present a paper are especially encouraged to apply.
