Fellowship packages are guaranteed at the amount of the original offer for six years (currently, the funding package is $30,000 plus tuition and health insurance), provided that satisfactory progress is made toward the degree. 

Typically, students entering with fellowship support have no teaching or other duties in the first year, so that they can concentrate wholly on their studies.  In subsequent years they will have the opportunity to teach in a variety of settings, which well prepares them for a career in teaching: first as section leaders in elementary Latin and Greek courses taught by faculty, then as independent instructors of intermediate or intensive beginning Latin and as discussion leaders for sections of classical civilization courses.

Summer support is available from the Francis Lazenby Scholarship Fund.  Moreover, there are several opportunities to teach for the Department during the summer, including the Summer Latin Institute which graduate students both administer and teach.

Funds to support travel to conferences are available from the Department.
