Each Spring, the Program in the Ancient World offers funding to graduate students in Classics, History, Religion, and Art and Archaeology for summer study and research. The funding supports fieldwork, participation on archaeological excavations, or other training in the study of material culture and language instruction, as well as travel required for pre-dissertation or dissertation stage.
Last year, the program funded sixteen research projects and travel to conferences across Europe and the Mediterranean. Multiple projects were funded for archaeological excavations in Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Portugal. Other students studied German and Classical Arabic languages, while still others conducted research in archives and museums, including in Vienna, Tunisia, Greece, Italy, France, Germany, England, and Scotland.
