The Department of Classics is inviting applications for traveling fellowships for graduate students in classics and undergraduate majors in classics or archaeology.
The purpose of the fellowships is to enable students of classical antiquity to view the monuments, topography and landscape of the ancient world first hand. They are not specifically designed for archaeologists or research travel, although a program of study or research often makes an application more compelling. Some priority will be given to advanced students and to those who have not had an opportunity to travel to the Mediterranean, but there are no strict conditions for awards. The amount of the awards will vary depending on the funds available, the number of applicants and the merits of the proposals.
Applications for travel grants should consist of a short statement of the proposed plan of travel and a budget, and an indication of any previous travel awards from the department. Applicants should submit their full legal name, college, year of graduation, nationality, gender, social security number and e-mail address at the time of their application. Applicants should indicate if they have received travel grants from the classics department in the past, specifying the year and the amount. Travel funds received or applied for elsewhere should also be indicated. The awards are intended for use in the summer of 2002.
Submit applications by Wednesday, April 3, to Victor Bers, director of graduate studies, Department of Classics, 404 Phelps Hall.
The Yale University Women's Organization (YUWO) is offering scholarship awards to women whose formal education has been interrupted or delayed and who wish to resume their studies, or enhance or change their careers.

Applications for the 2002-2003 academic year may be obtained by writing to Connie Marsden, 32 Hunting Ridge Farms, Branford, CT 06405-6131. Applicants should state their Yale affiliation and enclose a self-addressed, stamped, business-sized envelope. The deadline is March 1. For more information, call Mrs. Marsden at (203) 481-1795.
