The Victoria and Albert Museum Jain Art Fund offers grants to support study, research or training in the field of Jain cultural, historical and art historical studies. They will support both Indian-based scholars and museum curators spending time in the UK, and UK-based scholars and curators visiting India for study and research purposes.

There are scholarships available in four different categories: please see the website of the Nehru Trust for the Indian Collections at the V&A www.nticva.org

We welcome applications.

The deadline for applications is 31 January for grants from April 2009-2010.

However, if you make an expression of interest to Rosemary Crill r.crill@vam.ac.uk or Nick Barnard n.barnard@vam.ac.uk by 31 January we will be able to hold the deadline for a week or two, as we realize the time is short.

With thanks,
Nick Barnard
