Harvard University Loeb Classical Library Foundation Fellowship

Eligibility

Applicants must have faculty or faculty emeritus status at a college or university at the time of application and during the entire time covered by the fellowship. Qualified scholars are eligible for support for publication of research.

Fellowships may be used for a wide variety of purposes. Examples include publication of research, enhancement of sabbaticals, travel to libraries or collections, reasonable payment of student research assistants, dramatic productions, excavation expenses, or cost of research materials. Individual fellowship requests may be only partially funded. In exceptional circumstances a fellowship may be extended or renewed, but a new application in must be submitted in a regular application cycle in order to obtain additional funding. A special selection committee will choose the persons to whom fellowships are to be awarded and recommend the amount of the fellowships.

Summary

The Loeb Classical Library Foundation awards fellowships to qualified scholars to support research, publication, and other projects in the area of classical studies. Fellowships will normally range from $1,000 to $40,000.

James Loeb directed in his will that income from the Loeb Classical Library beyond that needed for the maintenance and enhancement of the Library eventually should be used "for the encouragement of special research at home and abroad in the province of Archaeology and of Greek and Latin Literature," and that awards should be granted "without distinction as to sex, race, nationality, color or creed."
