Arthur Adkins Summer Research Fellowship

Provides funding for third-year undergraduates to complete a research paper on the ancient world.

The Arthur Adkins Summer Research Fellowship is targeted at third-year undergraduates who are bound for graduate school. It provides means and opportunity for the writing of a superior research paper on any aspect of the ancient world from the Bronze Age through Late Antiquity.

The Fellowship may be used for travel to classical sites and collections or to other research centers, and/or for living expenses during a summer devoted to research between the third and fourth year. This year, the Prize is anticipated to be worth $5,000.
