The Subcommittee on the Semple, Grant, and Benario Awards is pleased to announce the winners of its 2009-10 competition.

• The Semple Award is a $3,500 fellowship for attending the summer session of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
  
• The Mary A. Grant Award is a $4,500 fellowship for attending the summer session of the American Academy in Rome.
  
• The Janice and Herbert Benario Award is a $2,500 fellowship that the recipient may apply to the summer travel program of his or her choice.
  

Guidelines:

1.  To be eligible for a Semple, Grant, or Benario Award, one must be a current member of CAMWS who either:

• holds a teaching position in Greek or Latin in an elementary or secondary school within CAMWS territory; or
• is enrolled as a graduate student in a degree-granting Classics program within CAMWS territory.

2.  Priority for the Benario Award will be given to applicants interested in summer programs other than those of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and the American Academy in Rome, which are normally funded by the Semple and Grant Awards.
