ICOM UK’s 2026 Bursary Scheme is now OPEN!

The ICOM UK Bursary scheme is designed to help our members participate in international museum activity such as ICOM General Conferences, meetings of ICOM International Committees (subject specialist groups) or international seminars.

We offer two types of bursary; a smaller fast turnaround scheme, and a larger scheme that runs with three deadlines per year. A total of £11,000 has been made available for bursaries in the ICOM UK membership year 2026.

Please refer to the application guidance and eligibility criteria on our bursaries page before submitting an application.
