The Cornish American Heritage Society Travel Grant

Have you ever wondered about your ancestral roots and their fascinating history? Do you long to taste a pasty, engage with Cornish locals, or foster a deeper connection to your heritage?

There is no better way to connect with Cornwall than to be in Cornwall.

The Cornish American Heritage Society is providing a $1,000 travel grant to a lucky explorer who seeks to rekindle their Cornish roots. Whether you're a solo explorer or wish to bring along family or friends, the grant is open to all.

At the end of your adventure, we would love for you to share your experiences with our members through a newsletter article and Zoom discussion.
