Prize Funds
Each year the Royal Numismatic Society awards research grants from its various prize funds. The Price, Lowick, Kreitman, CNG, and Marshall funds are all administered in the same way. These are available to Fellows and non-Fellows alike, and the field of numismatic research which each fund encompasses is listed on their separate pages. The grants are usually less than £1000, but larger grants will be considered.
Awards are usually made in April or May of each year. It is important that the comments of referees are received before the deadline and it is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure this.
There is one standard Grant Application Form which should be used for all applications for these RNS funds. All fields of this form should be completed and word limits should not be exceeded. Application forms should be submitted in Word format. PDF documents will not be accepted.
Completed application forms should be sent by 1 March each year to: Dr Sushma Jansari SJansari@britishmuseum.org.
Please note that applicants are responsible for ensuring that references reach the Society by the closing date. The awards should be announced within two months of the closing date.
