Dear Students,
The Department of Classics is delighted to announce two summer research funding opportunities:
1. Commager Fund. The terms of this endowment stipulate that “Income to be used for a fellowship for an undergraduate or graduate student in the School of Arts and Sciences for research, travel, or study during the summer. Between candidates of equal merits, preference is to be given to a student specializing in Latin.” Approximate annual endowment: $3,000, which may be divided among multiple applicants.
2. Undergraduate Latin Fund. The terms of this endowment are as follows: “The endowment payout from the Fund shall be used to support current undergraduate students pursuing research or summer studies exclusively related to Latin language and literature. Columbia undergraduate students are eligible to receive support regardless of major or level of study.” Approximate annual endowment: $3,000, which may be divided among multiple applicants.
To apply for either (or both) of these funds, please submit a proposal, which includes a brief, one-page description of your planned course of study or research program, a budget and timeline by 5:00PM March 24, 2025. Email the proposal to the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Classics (nk2776@columbia.edu).
All best wishes,
NPK
