2025 Marie Buttery Student Grant
Call for Applications
The Board of Directors of the American Research Center in Egypt, Northern California chapter, is offering one $1,500 grant to a qualified University of California, Berkeley, student. The deadline for submission is Friday, Jan. 31, 2025 with the winner to be recognized at our February 9 meeting.
Applicants must be UC Berkeley undergraduate or graduate students from any department/program who are pursuing a degree that incorporates Egyptian anthropology, archaeology, art, history, museum studies or language, or Coptic or Arabic studies.
To apply, please submit 1) a brief summary (~500 words) describing how you will use the grant, including how the funded project will contribute to your development as a scholar; and 2) a 1-2 page CV. Applications will be reviewed by the Board of Directors of ARCE Northern California. Current Berkeley students and faculty on the board will recuse themselves from voting. Selection criteria include clarity, feasibility and originality. Proposals involving work in an archive or collection should include a statement regarding the current status of your request for access.
At the conclusion of the work for which the grant was given, awardees will send to the Board a brief summary of what was accomplished with the grant. In addition, ARCE NorCal encourages our grant winners and all our graduate students to consider developing their findings into an hour-long talk to chapter members, for which our standard honorarium would apply.
Students should apply by email (Word or PDF file) to ARCENorCal@gmail.com by the Jan. 31 deadline.
The grant honors the memory of Marie Buttery, founding president of our chapter.
ARCE Northern California also offers a $1,500 student grant each fall in memory of its former member Professor Eugene Cruz-Uribe. Call for applications for this grant will go out later in 2025.
