Core Bursary applications now open for Round 2

ICOM UK’s Core Bursary Scheme is now open for its second round of 2026. Applications are welcome from 5 to 31 October.

The Core Bursary offers ICOM UK members up to £1,250 towards the cost of international activity. It supports projects that align with ICOM UK’s strategic aims on heritage protection, decolonisation and environmental sustainability. The scheme has supported members to undertake valuable international work for more than ten years, and it also gives us a platform to share and celebrate that learning with our wider membership and the sector.

The scheme is open to all individual and institutional members of ICOM UK, including members based in the British Overseas Territories.

How to apply

Full guidance, eligibility criteria and the application form are available on our website. If you are considering an application, we would love to hear about your plans, so do get in touch with the team with any questions before the deadline.
