CWAAS offers bursaries to young people who wish to develop their interest in archaeology, by undertaking a particular project on some aspect of the archaeology of Cumbria, or to young people living in Cumbria who wish to undertake a project relating to the archaeology of another area. 

These bursaries are provided by the Clare Fell Bursary Fund, which was set up in 2003 in memory of Clare Fell (1912-2002), a prehistorian who did much to develop our understanding of the Archaeology of early Cumbria and who was a former President of the Society. 

The aim of the bursaries is to enable students to do something they would not otherwise be able to do. Each year the Society aims to award two or three bursaries worth several hundred pounds each.

Preference will be given to individuals under the age of 25, but applications will be accepted from others studying for undergraduate or higher degrees, and from group applications from schools, colleges, universities, YACs or other groups of young people.
