GRANTS

The Association of Ancient Historians awards Grants-in-aid for the purposes of underwriting travel expenses of advanced graduate students and junior faculty who want to attend our annual meetings.  It is our intention to encourage more members to sample the collegial atmosphere of our annual meetings and to encourage more colleagues to join what is truly a unique association of Ancient History professionals.

The funds supporting this program are the proceeds of generous donations from individual members of the AAH.  The implementation of the subvention program and its continued success in attracting junior colleagues are testaments both to the spirit of the founders of the AAH and the unique vitality of our meetings. 

Applications for the Subvention

Applicants are not required to present papers in order to be considered for the subvention. All applicants must, however, be or become members of the AAH.   Applicants should be of advanced graduate student status or untenured faculty.

Send a one page letter of application, vita, and a letter of recommendation to Professor Randall Howarth, Mercyhurst College, 501 East 38th Street, Erie PA 16546-0001, USA.   The letter(s) ought to speak in part to alternative funding possibilities, or lack thereof.  Your materials must be received by Professor Howarth no later than February 15, 2009.
