Residential research grants: The Center for Hellenic Studies (Trustees for Harvard University) invites applications for its Summer Scholars program, which will be held from June 27 to August 8, 2000. With its large specialized library and serene wooded campus in Washington, D.C., the Center offers professional classicists an opportunity for full-time research in a collegial environment. The Summer Scholars program is designated for scholars of any age or rank (including independent scholars and secondary school teachers but not graduate students) who do not normally have access to an excellent research library. Applicants working in any field of Classics are eligible; given the strength of the Center's resources, some preference will be given to research that focuses on text-based Ancient Greek studies. Summer Scholars will receive a stipend of $1000, as well as housing on the Center's grounds (provided for accompanying household members as well), 24-hour access to the library, a study in the library building, and lunch together on weekdays. Where necessary, the Center can provide some assistance with transportation expenses.
Non-residential research grants: In addition to the residential Summer Scholars program, the CHS expects to provide a limited number of grants to support costs of research conducted elsewhere. See the application form for further information.

Applications must include an application form, C.V., project description, and two letters of recommendation, and must be postmarked by February 15, 2000. Candidates will be notified of their admission status in early April. Further information and application forms are available from:
