To be considered, applications must be submitted no later than May 1. Awards will be announced July. Recipients are expected to make an appropriate submission to the Society’s journal, Anglican and Episcopal History.

Applications for a regular grant may come from individuals, academic organizations and ecclesiastical groups.
