Summer School Grants
GRANT: Funding of up to £2,500
The CA supports a number of summer school bursary schemes enabling people who would not otherwise be able to do so to attend extra-mural courses in Greek, Latin, Classical Civilisation and Ancient History. We also provide bursaries for courses specifically aimed at teacher’s professional development, such as the ARLT Summer School.

All applications must be made by the organisers of the summer school in question. Individuals seeking support should apply to the event’s organisers.
In your application, you should outline:
- How many bursaries, and of what type, will be offered and how applications will be assessed and prioritised;
- How you intend to organize and advertise the Summer School, bearing access, widening participation and EDI considerations in mind. In particular, please state how you intend to attract students from state-maintained schools and/or those from backgrounds which are traditionally under-represented in the teaching of classical subjects;
- Your plans for monitoring the demographics of attendees at your Summer School (e.g. and esp. in terms of state-maintained selective, state-maintained non-selective and independent school background). If this is an established Summer School, please also provide any demographic data you have captured in previous years;
- How you intend to communicate and/or monitor the success of the Summer School for reporting purposes to the CA (e.g. social media posts, blog entry, student questionnaires, photos). Please also state how the CA’s support will be acknowledge.
Applications should normally be for a maximum of £2,500. To apply for summer school funding, please complete the Summer School Grant Application Form and send as an email attachment to canews@classicalassociation.org, ensuring that you have followed the guidelines above in order to avoid any unnecessary delays to your application.
