Awards and Fellowships

The annual Outreach Prize of the Society for Classical Studies (SCS), a prize of $300, recognizes an outstanding project or program by an SCS member or members that makes available and accessible an aspect of classical antiquity to an audience other than Classics scholars or students at their home institutions. This project or program may be of any kind and in any medium, including but not limited to, film, stage performance, public event(s), website, video, podcasts, visual arts, or print.

The Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS) is now accepting applications for its three postdoctoral fellowship opportunities for the 2024-25 academic year. These programs encourage and support research of the highest quality on topics related to ancient Greek civilization.

The next deadline for the Ancient Worlds, Modern Communities initiative is October 13, 2023. The initiative provides mini-grants of up to $2,000 for public projects that engage individuals, groups, and communities in critical discussion of and creative expression related to the ancient Mediterranean, the global reception of Greek and Roman culture, and the history of teaching and scholarship in the field of classical studies.

Fellowship Description

The Gaius Charles Bolin Fellowships at Williams College promote diversity on college faculties by encouraging graduate students from underrepresented groups to complete a terminal graduate degree and pursue careers in college teaching. The fellowship was established in 1985 to address the shortage of faculty of color in US colleges and universities.

2023-2024 Application Cycle

In keeping with the central value the Bibliographical Society of America places on bibliography as a critical framework, the Society funds a number of fellowships to promote inquiry and research in the field of bibliography in both traditional and emerging formats.
