Sources of Funding
Beyond Bard’s own summer awards, we encourage you to seek additional sources for funding. Many of the long-established programs mentioned here have their own scholarship programs (see individual webpages).
The Classical Studies Scholarship recognizes academically outstanding students committed to classical studies. Scholarships cover up to full tuition for four years and are awarded based on need. Scholarship students must maintain a 3.3 grade point average or higher while earning at least 32 credits per year. Recipients are also eligible for a $1,500 stipend for classics-related summer programs (e.g. archaeological excavations, American School at Athens/Rome, language study) following their sophomore or junior year. Transfer students are also eligible for Classical Studies Scholarship funding.
Many excellent opportunities for summer research and study in Classics are available both in the US and abroad.
