The Hellenic Club Postgraduate Research Studentship in Classical Archaeology

The Hellenic Club Postgraduate Research Studentship in Classical Archaeology is a postgraduate research scholarship established in 1975 through a donation from the Hellenic Club. The scholarship supports students undertaking postgraduate research in classical archaeology, specifically focusing on the Mediterranean civilizations of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney. The scholarship provides up to $15,000 to support research-related expenses including travel, fieldwork, technical equipment, and conference attendance. The exact value of the scholarship is determined by the selection committee based on the applicant's research needs and budget. The funds are paid as a lump sum payment upon acceptance of the scholarship. Applicants are selected based on academic merit, their area of study and research proposal, a personal statement detailing how the scholarship will support their research, and a detailed budget outlining how the funds will be spent. The selection committee includes the Vice-Chancellor or nominee, the Professor of Classical Archaeology, the Professor of Ancient Greek, and the President of the Hellenic Club or nominee. Recipients must maintain receipts for all scholarship-related expenses for up to one year and may be required to produce them if requested by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
