Programs

In support of its educational mission, the Etruscan Foundation offers and sponsors a broad array of programs for its members and affiliates. These have included internship opportunities at the foundation's Italian field headquarters, Tenuta di Spannocchia, fellowships and stipend awards in archeology and Etruscology, public lectures and scholarly seminars, and a variety of sponsored educational programs that have taken place in both Italy and in the United States.

Fellowships The Etruscan Foundation has a long tradition of supporting fieldwork and scholarship in Etruscology and its related disciplines for a half century. Young and developing scholars have received fellowships from the Foundation to help defray the costs of participation in a field school or in archaeological fieldwork at Etruscan and other ancient sites across Italy. Fieldwork fellowships are currently available to advanced undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at accredited North American colleges and universities.
