SASA Introduces a new project in 2026
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE
Attending a conference is often a pivotal moment in an undergraduate student's career as they get an exciting first-hand glance at professional academics and scholarship, while making new friends, networking, and broadening their horizons!
SASA now supports these wonderful experiences through individual grants to individual students.

Donate to support young scholars today!
To help make opportunities for conference attendance by undergrads more accessible, SASA is launching a scholarship campaign to support undergraduate students attending Ancient Studies conferences.
When you give, you're investing in both students and the future of Ancient Studies. Half of every donation goes directly to funding conference scholarships, while the other half supports SASA's broader mission of expanding access to Ancient Studies through educational programs, public events, and free resources that reach learners around the world
Every dollar you donate makes twice the impact.
At Save Ancient Studies Alliance (SASA), we believe every student with a passion for Ancient Studies deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with the wider academic community. Unfortunately, the cost of attending academic conferences can place these experiences out of reach for many undergraduate students. To help remove these barriers, we are launching the SASA Conference Scholarship Program, which provides financial assistance to undergraduate students attending academic conferences in Ancient Studies. Academic conferences offer far more than lectures and presentations. They give students the opportunity to engage with leading scholars, discover new research, build professional networks, explore career paths, and gain confidence as emerging members of the field. For many, attending a conference is a pivotal experience that inspires future research, graduate study, or careers in academia, education, museums, cultural heritage, and public outreach. Your tax-deductible donation helps make these opportunities possible. Fifty percent of every gift directly supports conference scholarships for students, while the remaining fifty percent strengthens SASA's educational programs and operations. This model allows every donation to provide immediate support for students while sustaining the outreach, resources, and infrastructure that make scholarship opportunities like these possible. By giving today, you are investing not only in individual students, but also in the long-term future of Ancient Studies. Every contribution helps expand access to educational opportunities and strengthens a community dedicated to preserving and sharing the ancient world. Please consider making a gift today and help the next generation of Ancient Studies scholars take an important step in their academic journey.
Do you want to attend an Ancient Studies conference as an undergraduate?
SASA Conference Scholarship applications will open during the Fall semester.
When applications open, students will be asked to provide:
-
Basic information about themselves and their college or university.
-
The name, date, and estimated cost of the conference they wish to attend.
-
Responses to short-answer questions describing their academic interests, financial need, and how attending the conference will support their educational and professional goals.
Check back this Fall for the application link and complete eligibility requirements. We look forward to helping more students participate in the Ancient Studies community.
