Description

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 2026. Applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree-granting program at the time of their application. The purpose of the Frank M. Snowden Jr. Undergraduate 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. Those eligible are members of historically underrepresented ethnic and racial groups in the United States and Canada, for example, students who are of African descent, Latinx, Asian or Asian American, Pacific Islander, and of indigenous descent (Native American, Inuit, Canadian First Peoples). Candidates will be judged on the basis of their academic qualifications, including demonstrated ability in fields that prepare a student for further study in Classics or archaeology; the quality of their proposal; and financial need. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation from faculty members or other professionals who have worked with the applicant during the past two years. Letters of recommendation should indicate how the candidate meets the criteria for the award; application readers would also find it helpful for faculty recommenders to discuss what types of internal fundings (from the department and/or college/university) are available in their letters. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Society for Classical Studies for more information.
