Who can apply

  • Awardees will be those whom the profession or life circumstances or societal structures have limited in their access to the study of our field: students from various racially, ethnically, sexually (including LGBTQIA+), physically and religiously disadvantaged groups; first-generation students (including those from immigrant families); intersectional students; those educated at schools which have abandoned Latin, Greek, and classics; those for whom misunderstanding or bias has meant lack of prior exposure to the Greco-Roman past; and those for whom narrower definitions of "classics" have meant denying the importance of other parts of the Mediterranean basin as legitimate parts of the ancient world.
