The Association of Ancient Historians awards Grants-in-aid for the purposes of underwriting travel expenses of advanced graduate students and junior faculty who want to attend our annual meetings. It is our intention to encourage more members to sample the collegial atmosphere of our annual meetings and to encourage more colleagues to join what is truly a unique association of Ancient History professionals. Applicants must be members of the AAH but are not required to present papers. For more infomation about grants, see the Grant Guidelines. Applications are generally open from October through January.
The funds supporting this program are the proceeds of generous donations from individual members of the AAH. The implementation of the subvention program and its continued success in attracting junior colleagues are testaments both to the spirit of the founders of the AAH and the unique vitality of our meetings. From 2004 through 2019, the AAH awarded a total of more than $15,000.00 to more than 50 candidates, about half of whom presented papers.
