Application to the ASCSA Summer Sessions

The Summer Sessions of the ASCSA are an intensive introduction to Greece from antiquity through the modern period.  The individuals selected for this program are normally graduate and advanced undergraduate students and high school and college teachers with clear evidence of interest in the Classical world as well as academic preparation in this area.  The program emphasizes the topography and monuments of Greece in their historical context, the interpretation of literature and historical writings, and how ancient sources may be used to interpret archaeological discoveries.

Detailed information on the Summer Session Program is found under the Programs section of the website, which includes a listing of scholarships available.
