I'm interested in studying classics and was wondering how I could find the latest scholarships available in that field. Are there specific websites or platforms I should be checking on for these opportunities?
Finding the latest scholarships in your specific field of interest involves a bit of research, but there are several strategies you can utilize. Here's how:
Appily, previously known as Cappex, is a comprehensive database for scholarships. You can make a profile detailing your intended major (in this case, classics), and it will match you with scholarships that fit your profile. Check back regularly, as it updates quite often with new scholarship opportunities.
Fastweb is another great resource where you can set up a personalized profile and receive match results based on your academic and career interests, including Classics. It also offers alerts for new and upcoming scholarship opportunities.
Remember to also check with professional and academic societies related to Classics. For instance, the American Philological Association and the Classical Association of the Middle West and South often offer scholarships or grants for those pursuing Classical studies.
You may want to look directly on your prospective universities' website. Many institutions have scholarships specific to certain majors and you could find scholarships specifically for Classics students.
Lastly, look for local opportunities such as civic groups, churches, and small businesses in your area. Though they may not specifically target Classics students, they might offer scholarships to local students in general, so that's definitely worth exploring.
Keep track of deadlines and application requirements as they might vary from one scholarship to another. Good luck!
