Edward L. Ryerson Fellowship in Archaeology

Terms: The Edward L. Ryerson Fellowship is awarded annually by the Ryerson Fellowship Committee to graduate students of Greek and Roman archaeology. The fellowship supports, primarily, travel to study excavations and collections of classical antiquities. In case the candidates in any one year are not sufficiently advanced in their work to profit by study abroad, the fellowship may be awarded for study in residence at the University. In the absence of qualified candidates for either a traveling or an in-residence grant in Greek and Roman archaeology, the fellowship will be available to graduate students in Near Eastern archaeology.

Eligibility: Graduate students of Greek and Roman archaeology, and in some cases, in Near Eastern archaeology, as noted above.

Application: Applications for a travel grant should consist of a clear and concise statement of purpose and a budget specifying the expected cost of transportation, housing, meals, and equipment. Applications for an in-residence grant should provide a detailed plan of work for the period of the grant. All applications should be accompanied by a letter from the student's advisor (or a professor well-acquainted with the student's work and the proposed plan of research), and a transcript of courses taken at the University. At the end of their term, fellows are asked to submit a short report to the fellowship committee.

Deadline: Typically in early spring quarter; proposals should be addressed to the Ryerson Fellowship Committee and delivered to Walker 111.
