Getty Villa Scholar Grants

The Getty Villa Scholar Grants support established researchers and professionals undertaking advanced research on the art, archaeology, history, and cultures of the ancient Mediterranean. Scholars spend between three and nine months in residence at the Getty Villa in Los Angeles, where they receive financial support, access to Getty's research collections, and opportunities to collaborate with an international community of scholars. The 2027–2028 cycle remains open for the Getty Villa even though the Getty Research Institute Scholars Program at the Getty Center is paused due to the Center's temporary closure
