Hello great Classics Community!
This message is from Jackie Elliott in her role as SCS State Legate. “I’m writing as your SCS State Legate for Colorado to let know you know that the Committee on Diversity in the Profession of the Society for Classical Studies (SCS) invites applications from undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups across North America for scholarships to be awarded for Summer 2021. The purpose of the scholarships is to further students’ study of classics or classical archaeology with opportunities not available during the school year. Eligible proposals might include (but are not limited to) participation in classical summer programs or field schools in the Mediterranean or language training at institutions in the U.S., Canada, or Europe. The maximum amount of each award will be $4,500. Owing to the pandemic, applicants this year will be able to defer use of the scholarship until summer 2022 if programs to which they have applied and been accepted are canceled or postponed in summer 2021. Further, applicants may propose to use their scholarship to support the tuition costs of online programs in summer 2021.Students should have two letters of recommendation, but those letters do not have come from AIA or SCS members.The deadline this year falls on December 11th.
You can read more about the award and the application process here (https://classicalstudies.org/…/frank-m-snowden-jr…). Further information is also available from chair of the committee, who this year is one of our own: Sanjaya Thakur (sanjaya.thakur@coloradocollege.edu).
Please do encourage any eligible students to apply! And please do pass this message on to anyone whom it may not otherwise reach.
With thanks and best wishes,
Frank M. Snowden Jr. Undergraduate Scholarships
