Scholarships for the Summer Program in the Ancient Languages
Partial scholarship support is available on a competitive basis from the Virgil S. Crisafulli Fund of the Department of Greek and Latin to current degree-seeking CUA graduate students in any CUA MA or PhD program for participation in the Summer Program in the Ancient Languages. Students who will begin their graduate degree studies at CUA in the fall following the Summer Program are also eligible to apply. Students who will not be seeking CUA degrees (i.e. who are taking courses as "non-degree" students) are not eligible.
These scholarships remit a fixed percentage of tuition expenses; the exact amount of the scholarship offer will be communicated to the recipient upon notification of success in the competition. Recipients must pay the remainder of the tuition and other fees themselves, or apply to their own CUA departments or schools for further assistance. No student will be awarded scholarship funds for more than six credits of tuition or for repeating a course.
Preference in scholarship selection is given to well-qualified students who require language competence for advanced work in their particular academic fields. It is therefore recommended that you pay careful attention in your application essay to presenting specific uses to which you plan to put the language you are proposing to study.
Eligible summer courses for the scholarship program are limited to the following:
