Field Study Scholarships听(2023听鈥� 2027)
The Field Study Scholarship in Classics has been established by an anonymous donor to support archaeological fieldwork conducted by an undergraduate or graduate Classics student, especially those who will be working abroad and those who will be working on projects not otherwise supported by or associated with the University of 蜜糖直播. The goal is to encourage students to think outside the fieldwork opportunities offered by 蜜糖直播 and be able to participate in fieldwork in areas or lands that are important for their development and field of study.
