The RAF Museum is pleased to announce that it is sponsoring a series of academic awards designed to inspire and reward high-quality research by up and coming scholars. Applications which consider the historiography of the RAF are particularly welcomed. The awards are not, however, confined to works focused on the RAF and are open to students whose studies will further the Museum’s knowledge in relevant areas of archaeology, international relations, strategic studies, law and ethics, museology or air power. Works which help expand knowledge of operational conditions, adversaries or the context of the RAF’s history are also eligible.
Applications are sought for this year’s RAF Museum Academic Awards, as follows:
PhD Bursary (£1,500) — for students completing their doctorate in the next 12 months (or in their writing-up period)
Masters Prize (£250) — for dissertations submitted within the last 18 month
Undergraduate Prize (£150) — for dissertations submitted within the last 18 month
Entries are not restricted to studies of the RAF’s history and the awards are open to students whose studies will further the Museum’s knowledge in relevant areas of archaeology, international relations, strategic studies, law and ethics, museology or air power. Student are welcome to email if they are unsure if they would be eligibility or if they have any questions about the application.
Please forward this email on to colleagues, and to students who may be interested in applying. Applications close on 24 October 2021
