Every year, current students are invited to apply for the Stephen Instone Travel Fund which awards bursaries to BA and MA students for travel to ancient sites in the Mediterranean.
Students in receipt of awards send in postcards from their travels and write reports about their activities abroad which are then put on display in the department before being passed on to Stephen's family.
The application deadline for the fund is the end of February each year. The award is open to applications from UG and PGT students.
