Visit Boheslav and Draga Povsik Scholarship for Undergraduate Research in Classics Website

Application Deadlines: Early April

John Carroll Representative: Dr. Kristen Ehrhardt (kehrhardt@jcu.edu)

On-campus Resources: Classical and Modern Languages and Cultures Department

Eligibility: You can apply for the scholarship if you have declared a major or minor in classics, or if you intend to do and have taken at least 6 credits in CL/GK/LT classes.

From the Website: Fund your summer research with the Boleslav and Draga Povsic Scholarship in Classics!
Are you a classics major or minor? Are you writing an Honors thesis on a classical theme? thinking about grad school? interested in a summer program related to classics (e.g. an archaeological dig, a conversational Latin convention, etc.)? wanting to read some extra Latin or Greek on your own? The Povsic scholarship might be able to give you a little money to help!
This fund was established in honor of Boleslav and Draga Povsic, whose love for the Classics extended throughout their life. The scholarship is intended to acknowledge their lifelong support, their dedication to their children and their desire to encourage students and John Carroll University to pursue a study of the classics and develop a lifelong love of the discipline. They stressed the importance of education and the study of the classics as the key to a better life and to understanding the diversity of humanity.
Application process: Simply write a letter in which you explain the following:

1. What do you want to do? Where do you want to do it? Why? What will the outcome of your project be? How does it relate to classics and your life?
2. How could some extra summer money help you in your study of classics? Previously, students have asked for funds to cover travel to museums, for books, and even for the time away from a summer job to write a Latin vocabulary program. Find out what the expenses of your project would be and write a brief budget. In short, devise a plan and justify yourself.
3. Email your letter to Dr. Ehrhardt (kehrhardt@jcu.edu).
4. Deadline for application letters is Monday, April 9th, 2018
