• Grants

    The Classical Association awards in the region of £60,000 each year to classical projects and conferences, mainly in the UK. 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.

    All grants are awarded by the Grants Committee. The committee considers applications at four meetings during the year. The deadlines for applications are:

    1 March

    1 June

    1 September

    1 December

    You should submit your application in time for the appropriate deadline. If your application is late for one deadline, it will automatically be considered at the next meeting.

    Applicants please note: 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 and any receipts as appropriate. All grant applications and reports should be sent to the Office by email.

    For summer school grants applications, please see here.

    For all other grant applications, please see here.

    If you are successful in your application, you will be asked to provide a grant report after the event. This does not need to be a long report, but it should detail the following:

    How much you received

    What it was for (e.g.bursaries, reading competition prizes)

    Whether the event was a success and (briefly) how/why

    Confirmation that you used the money for the purpose you applied for

    If you received money for bursaries, include your criteria for choosing bursars

    If you have copies of receipts or final conference accounts, it’s a good idea to include these

    If there are any unused funds left over from the CA grant, these should be returned to the Association.
