Description
The Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) Anna C. and Oliver C. Colburn Fellowships support studies undertaken at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) in Greece for no more than one year. The program is open to eligible pre-doctoral scholars and scholars who received their PhD within five years of application. Its stated purpose centers on study at the School rather than a specified research topic or project theme.
The fellowship application process connects AIA’s award review with ASCSA’s independent assessment of eligibility for School membership. Materials submitted to AIA are shared with ASCSA’s Admissions and Fellowships Committee, but membership offers and fellowship awards are separate decisions. Preference goes to applicants who are not ASCSA members during the year of application.
