To fund these programs the Society uses income derived from the following contributions to its Research and Teaching Endowment and matching grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities: a major gift from an anonymous donor, a contribution from the Classical Association of the Middle West and South (CAMWS), and donations to the Friends of Zeph Stewart Fund. Winners of these awards will be selected by a subcommittee of the Joint Committee on the Classics in American Education, whose membership is selected from both the SCS and the American Classical League.

The SCS only supports the participation of individuals in programs run by organizations and institutions whose conduct with respect to employment and professional service, teaching, and research and publication meets the standards set forth in the SCS statement on professional ethics (https://classicalstudies.org/about/scs-statement-professional-ethics). The SCS reserves the right to deny applications for funding to participate in programs run by organizations and institutions that have been demonstrated to violate these standards or about which serious concerns have been raised.
