Description
The William and Suzanne Murray Research Fellowship, administered by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA), gives graduate students access to the School’s unique resources and opportunities to conduct research in Greece’s archaeological, historical, and cultural landscape. It supports projects that require residency in Greece, whether undertaken as part of dissertation research or as an independent project.
Supported work may include research for an article or research carried out as a member of an excavation team. The fellowship combines a project stipend with a waiver of membership fees during residency, helping recipients meet research-related costs while working in Greece. Priority is given to applicants whose home institutions do not provide sufficient funding for the proposed project.
