Fellowships for Archaeological Research & Publication at the American School of
Classical Studies at Athens
The American School of Classical Studies at Athens was founded in 1881 to provide American
graduate students and scholars a base for their studies in the history and civilization of
the Greek world. The School is also a superb resource for students and senior scholars
pursuing research in many fields ranging from prehistoric to modern Greece, thanks to its
internationally renowned libraries, the Blegen, focusing on all aspects of Greece from its
earliest prehistory to late antiquity, and the Gennadius, which concentrates on the
medieval to modern Greek world, as well as the Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for
Archaeological Sciences.
