M.J. Price in the British Museum Department of Coins and Medals (1981)
This fund was set up as a permanent memorial to Martin Price, who was a Fellow, Secretary and Medallist of the Society, Curator of Greek Coins at the British Museum (1966-94) and Director of the British School of Athens (1994-95).
Since 1997, the Society has made awards from the Fund to promote the study of the coins of the Greek world in its broadest sense, with a special focus on young researchers. The awards will normally be one or more grants towards research costs, including travel and accommodation (where payable), to enable the successful applicant(s) to study some aspect of Greek numismatics. It is also available to provide support for attending and reading a paper at colloquia and seminars.
Applicants may be of any nationality and live anywhere in the world. There is no age limit, but some preference may be given to candidates under the age of 30 on the closing date for applications.
Applications should be made to the Society by 28th February or 31st August each year using our standard application form. You will be asked for:
- a description of your intended project;
- a description of how you intend to spend the grant money;
- details of two referees, who must be academics of recognised standing;
- a curriculum vitae.
All enquiries should be directed to Joe Cribb at joecribb@btinternet.com.
Donations to the Fund are still welcome and should be sent to the Society. Cheques should be made payable to The Royal Numismatic Society (Martin Price Fund).
