preference will be given to those wishing to participate in both
excavations seasons.
The scholarship will cover the R&B for participants of a full season

various costs not directly related to the excavations (including R&B
on weekends) will be the sole responsibility of the participant.
Academic credit (from Bar-Ilan University) for the participation in
