NA Engineering Associates Inc. Research Travel Award in Hellenistic Studies

An award, valued at up to $1,500, is provided annually to a full-time undergraduate or graduate student who is enrolled in a program in the Department of Classical Studies in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Waterloo. Candidates must write a 500-word letter to prove a need for travel to Greece in order to enhance their research in the study of Greece and Classical Greek heritage. Students must be a Canadian citizen/permanent resident, a resident of Ontario, and be able to demonstrate financial need. This fund is made possible by a donation from NA Engineering Associates Inc. in support of the Waterloo Institute for Hellenistic Studies. Selection is based on research interest in the study of Greece and Classical heritage relevant to the research program of the Waterloo Institute for Hellenistic Studies with demonstrated need for travel to Greece to enhance the student's research (e.g., visit museums, work with a professor abroad). Funds may also be used to assist students pursuing a low-paying co-op work term in Greece. Candidates must be in good academic standing and have a demonstrated financial need for the term abroad. The application, due by March 15, must include a 500-word application letter outlining the need for travel to Greece or the co-op position job description with salary, and a student budget to help determine financial need. Recipients are normally identified and selected each Spring by the Director of the Institute, the Undergraduate and Graduate Program Coordinators, and the Chair of the Department of Classical Studies, in consultation with the Student Awards and Financial Aid and Graduate Studies Offices who review the financial need component.
