BU Graduate Research Abroad Fellowship
Conference & Travel Funds
Conference Support
Whenever funds are available, the Department will reimburse students for travel and accommodations for conferences. We prioritize funding for students giving papers or interviewing at the SCS. With any remaining funds, we next prioritize regional conferences (such as CAMWS, CANE, CAAS), and then graduate student or other conferences. Please fill out this form to apply for funding, and send an email to nwild1@bu.edu once your form has been submitted so that we may respond as soon as possible.
Summer Travel Fellowship
The Department of Classical Studies offers 4 summer fellowships to study material culture and archaeological sites of the ancient Mediterranean. Fellowships are up to $7,000.00. The fellowship may be used to attend Summer Programs offered through the American School in Rome (AAR) (deadline for application is in mid December), the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) (deadline for application is in early January), or other programs of your choice (upon departmental approval). Funding is also available for a carefully conceived itinerary of your own design (again, dependent upon departmental review). Applications, including budget and one-page travel plans, should be sent to Professor Scully by the 2nd Friday of April.
