Small Grants from the Classical Association

The Classical Association awards in the region of £50,000 each year to classical projects and conferences, mainly in the UK. Past examples of awards have been in the range £250 to £30,000.

The Association will consider applications for:

• Subventions to summer schools and to institutions offering extra-mural courses in Greek, Latin and Classical Civilisation.
• Bursaries for teachers attending courses abroad, notably the British School at Athens Easter Course.
• Support of Greek and Latin reading competitions arranged by CA branches.
• Support of regional Greek or Roman days or of school conferences.
• Subventions to academic conferences particularly when of broad appeal and held in major centres, with a view especially to assisting students, teachers and scholars from East European and developing countries.

The Association prefers to give grants in the form of student or other bursaries, and does not normally subsidise the running costs of conferences.

The CA runs its own bursary scheme for students (undergraduate, graduate, PGCE) and teachers attending the annual CA Conference held in April each year. This has been widened to include subventions to individuals.

It is a condition of all grants awarded that the Classical Association's support be recognised in any literature and that a report be provided of how the funds were used, including final accounts where appropriate.

Decisions on grant applications are normally made by Council which meets at the start of April and in mid-November each year.

The deadline for applications for the next Council meeting is 20 March 2009.
