The Eunice M. Lebowitz Cohen Fellowship in Classical Studies

PolydusThe Eunice M. Lebowitz Cohen Fellowship in Classical Studies was established in 2006 to help support classical studies majors (and in some cases, minors) work on a year-long research or creative project in conjunction with a Classicist Faculty Mentor. The competition takes place in early spring each year.

For information about the Eunice M. Lebowitz Cohen Fellowship in Classical Studies, see the Research Fellows section of our website.
