The Classical Association is a major giver of grants to classical projects, mainly but not exclusively in the UK. The applications they support typically fall into one of the following categories:
• Funding for Summer Schools – in the form of bursaries to enable people to attend extra-mural courses in Greek, Latin and Classical Civilisation who would not otherwise be able to do so, as well as providing bursaries for courses specifically aimed at teachers’ professional development
• Funding for Conferences – Bursary schemes to attend the CA’s own Conference
• Funding for conferences on a Classical theme, hosted by UK Classics departments with substantial postgraduate participation
• School-teaching and Outreach – Support for Greek and Latin reading competitions, regional Greek/Roman days and school conferences, and for outreach events which promote public awareness of the importance of Classics and/or support Classics in schools
• Major projects – support for a small number of major projects, which have been considered to be of fundamental benefit to the discipline
• Other Initiatives
The committee meets 4 times annually to decide on awards.
