The Harry C. Maynard scholarships for high school and university level Latin students will be moving forward this year with a due date of November 1st. This year, there are two categories of awards, neither of which requires travel to Classical sites: undergraduate university students who have Latin, ancient Greek or Classics as their major, and high school students who are taking Latin or ancient Greek this academic year. We will be sending out an email when applications are open with further information. Please visit the OCA’s web site ( ontarioclassicalassociation.ca ) for application information and to submit application materials electronically.
Speaking of the Harry C. Maynard Awards, we are looking for past winners to speak on their experience with winning the award and Classical studies in general. We are looking for past winners to submit:
Either:
-
