Description
The Helena Wylde Swiny and Stuart Swiny Fellowship is offered by the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (CAARI) to support graduate student research connected to Cyprus. It funds a project relevant to an ongoing field project in Cyprus or one that requires work on the island itself. The award supports research time in residence at CAARI and helps defray travel and accommodation costs.
CAARI is based in central Nicosia and serves scholars and students specializing in the archaeology, history, and culture of Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean.
