Mosaic Scholarship
This scholarship seeks to encourage and support in the discipline of Classics students from historically underrepresented groups in Canada, such as racialized persons, indigenous populations, members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, or persons with disabilities. One award of $750 is offered each year, and the award can only be held once.
Eligibility and criteria: Applicants must identify as a member of an underrepresented group and currently be enrolled in an undergraduate program in Classics or related disciplines (including minors) at a Canadian University. The main criterion is academic achievement. Preference is given to Canadian students (citizens or permanent residents).
