Fellowships and Grants

The Classics Department is pleased to be able to offer financial support, in the form of fellowships and employment, to its most highly achieving and promising students.

Undergraduates:

• For undergraduates, in each year since 1999-2000 we have been able to award a set of generous fellowships for in-state tuition at CU ($4000) and study abroad in Rome or Athens ($10,000 or more). These fellowships, the Nichols Fellowships, have been funded each year by a one-time gift from a generous CU alumna and classics major, Ann Nichols. We are delighted and grateful each time our donor renews her gift, and whenever we learn that funds will be available we announce an application process for the fellowships. WE DO NOT ASSUME THAT THESE FELLOWSHIPS WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE. We depend year to year on the generosity of our donor.
  
  
• Undergraduates eligible for work-study support through Financial Aid may apply for positions in our Department Reading Room or our main reception area, for 10 to 15 hours per week.
  
  
• Through special academic relationships developed with the faculty, undergraduates may be employed as research assistants for an hourly stipend.
  
  
• Undergraduates with outstanding language skills may be sponsored by the department as tutors in Latin or Greek.
  
  
• The CU residence halls employ tutors for their resident students, especially for the larger-market courses such as Latin, Myth, and Trash and Treasure. Flexibility is an asset for gaining these positions.
