Eligibility

Regular Membership is open to citizens of the United States or Canada who are graduate students or graduating seniors at a college or university in those countries (or well-qualified seniors or recent BA holders from such institutions), or to non-citizens enrolled in a graduate program at a cooperating institution. The U.S. or Canadian citizen must be enrolled in a U.S. or Canadian program at the time of application. Preferably, applicants will have completed at least one year of graduate study before entering the School, but well-qualified undergraduate seniors who will have received a baccalaureate degree by the time of entry, as well as someone who already hold the baccalaureate degree but are not currently enrolled in a further degree program shall be considered for admission and for the fellowship competition. Applicants are expected to have a strong background in the ancient Mediterranean world broadly conceived. Reading ability in ancient Greek, some familiarity with modern Greek, as well as other relevant languages will be helpful. It is the policy of the School not to discriminate in awarding admission for Regular Membership on the basis of age, sex, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, or disability.

For in-depth details on eligibility, please see the School's Regulations (Section VI.1-3).

A complete application consists of the following:

  • A list of colleges and universities attended, with dates of residence, degrees achieved, field(s) of major study, and anticipated date of receipt of Ph.D. (if known/relevant),

• A "Narrative of Research Experience." In a statement of no more than 1500 words, 12pt, single spaced, describe a substantial writing project (seminar paper, MA Thesis, etc.) based on your original research that included at least some measure of re-writing in response to feedback from your professor. The following prompts are not intended to be exhaustive—you may consider additional topics—but responses to all of them should appear somewhere in your statement. 
  • Identify your research question and briefly describe how you came to it.
  • How did this experience change your response to constructive feedback? Provide specific example(s).
  • How did this experience contribute to your growth as a writer? Provide specific example(s).
  • How did this experience contribute to your growth as a researcher? Provide specific example(s).
  • What do you consider to be the significant findings of your research?
• A Writing Sample drawn from the project you discuss in your Narrative of Research Experience. Your sample should comprise no more than 5,000 words, including any footnotes and bibliography. You may include a brief statement positioning your sample within the writing project if you think this will be useful for the Committee. This statement should NOT be included in your word count. 
• A Brief Statement of Future Research Plans. In no more than 300 words, describe how your future research plans will benefit from participating in the Regular Year program.
• Official transcripts for undergraduate and graduate study. You may order official transcripts, scan, and upload them to the appropriate field. If official electronic transcripts are offered by your Registrar, you may send them to application@ascsa.org. 
• Applicants should supply contact information from three individuals who are willing to submit recommendation letters by January 20. One of these letters should be from the applicant's advisor, thesis director, Departmental Chair, Director of Graduate Studies, or Gradate Chair, and should explicitly confirm that the student is in good standing. (In the case of an undergraduate applicant, a letter from the student's major advisor will suffice.) Once an online application is submitted, recommenders will be sent an email with instructions about how to submit their letters of recommendation. Or, the applicant may choose to send the request at any time using the "Send Request Now" button on the application form before submission. NOTE: The ASCSA will never contact your recommenders directly. The applicant must take responsibility for asking references for submission of letters.  
  • If you would like to provide your recommenders with more details about what they could write in their letter for your application, the committee has suggested: "Given the intensity, physical rigor, breadth, and depth of the Regular Member Program, in addition to your assessment of the applicant's intellect and academic preparation, the Admissions and Fellowship Committee would welcome your comments on qualities that might not be apparent elsewhere in the application, including, e.g., the applicant's curiosity, perseverance, flexibility, and resilience."
• An Interview (on Zoom) with members of the Admissions and Fellowships Committee will be scheduled following the deadline for applications. The Committee’s questions will be circulated in advance of the application deadline.

Evaluating Application Materials
The Admissions and Fellowships Committee reviews applications for admission to the program and awards fellowships. In making their decisions, the committee focuses on four major criteria:

• Academic Preparation and Relevant to the Academic Year (Regular) Program (appropriate to rank): Has the applicant demonstrated their preparedness and ability to take advantage of the School's program and resources? Assessment of academic preparation and performance is based on evaluation of the applicant's transcripts, curriculum vitae, and annotated list of coursework. 
• Research and Communication Skills and Experience: Does the applicant demonstrate the development of research and communication skills (both written and oral), again appropriate to their rank, necessary for effective research and teaching? Assessment is based largely on the "Narrative of Research Experience", the writing sample, and the "Statement of Future Plans", with consideration of the content (areas of interest, knowledge of the intended field of study, areas of research excellence, responsiveness to feedback, ability to ask research questions and develop an argument) and of the communication skills demonstrated by these documents.
• Collaborative Experience and Participation: The Regular Year program emphasizes collaboration and teamwork. Much of your time will be spent learning alongside and from other students during trips, school events, and Whitehead seminars. Assessment is based on collaborative projects described on CV (e.g. fieldwork, service), letters of recommendation, and the interview.
• Evidence of Curiosity and Breadth of Intellectual Interests: The Regular Year program involves academic programming, visits to sites, and site reports on a broad range of time periods and topics. Broad intellectual curiosity will be crucial for getting the most out of the program. Assessment is based on CV, letters of recommendation, and the interview.
