Classical Studies Scholarship

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.

Summer Opportunities for Classics Students

Many excellent opportunities for summer research and study in Classics are available both in the US and abroad. Below you will find information about the Classics program’s own summer access awards in Classical Studies, as well as suggestions of where to find additional funding and research opportunities.
