Does anyone know if there is a program of financial aid to develope archaeology in other countries by sending people to foreign universities?
some Antiquities Departments do send their employees overseas to the UK or to the U.S. to gain specialist (read: M.A. or MSc) degrees. In those cases they are funded by their respective governments. Jordan, for example, regulary sends staff to European or US universities to receive additional training or even do PhD's.
There also a range of scholarships available from the british council and Commonwealth organisations. How many of those go to archaeologists is another matter, of course.
