This fellowship was established by the late Lloyd E. Cotsen, former Chair of the Overseers of the Gennadius Library, to honor Harry Bikakis, attorney of the American School, who exhibited much devotion and loyalty to the School during his term from 1979 to 1995.
Eligibility: Graduate students at U.S. or Canadian institutions, or Greek graduate students world-wide, whose research subject is ancient Greek law and who need to work at ASCSA libraries; or Greek graduate students working on excavations conducted by or affiliated with the ASCSA.
Terms: Stipend of$1,875. School fees are waived either for the duration of the field project or for the period of the academic year during which the fellow is carrying out research at the ASCSA. The stipend may be used to cover travel costs, housing, board, and other living and research expenses. The fellow will be paid the stipend in one installment, about two weeks before arrival to the School or site of excavation for the term of the fellowship. A final report is due at the end of the award period, and the ASCSA expects that all publications that result from research conducted as a Fellow of the ASCSA acknowledge the support of the ASCSA and that copies will be contributed to the relevant library of the School. The fellowship cannot be held remotely; research must be carried out at the ASCSA or in residency at an ASCSA affiliated excavation. Fellowship can be held between July 1, 2027 and June 30, 2028. For awardees using fellowship funds towards participation in fieldwork during the summer 2027 season, the funds will be distributed shortly before the excavation season begins.
Online Application: An application consists of a curriculum vitae, a description (up to 750 words) explaining the project (or, for applicants seeking participation in fieldwork, you may also explain your experience and interest in participation in the proposed ASCSA excavation), and a proposed budget. Arrange for two letters of recommendation to be submitted by the application deadline.
