The Classics Department The Loyola College Center for the Humanities every year offers a number of Student Summer Fellowships that support student work on scholarly or creative projects in the humanities for ten consecutive weeks during the summer under the direction of a regular, full-time Loyola faculty member. Students receive stipends of $3,000. Students may remain on campus (and are eligible for campus housing at half-price if they do), but students can also propose topics that require study abroad. A recent Classics graduate, for example, used two consecutive Student Summer Fellowships to support her research proposals on Greek Art and Archaeology at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. It should be possible, given a sufficiently compelling proposal, for a student to use a Student Summer Fellowship to support independent research in Rome, for example, while attending the American Academy Summer Program, or in Athens, while attending the summer program of the American School of Classical Studies. To date, students from the Classics department that have submitted proposals to the Center for the Humanities have all received Student Summer Fellowships. If you are interested in working with a faculty member on a summer project, run, don't walk, to your professor, and Let's Talk!!!
