The Royal Archaeological Institute focuses on the archaeological, architectural, and landscape history of the British Isles, aiming to support and expand knowledge in these fields. Open to all with interest in these subjects, the Institute engages a broad audience with its work.
The grant program supports the specific cause of aiding students enrolled at UK universities. It enables these students to attend meetings and conferences held by the Royal Archaeological Institute, facilitating their involvement and education in archaeology and related fields. This opportunity stems from a bequest by Frank Cheney, aimed at enhancing academic engagement among students.
