Annual Prizes in Classics

Each year, the Classics Department awards four prizes to students who have distinguished themselves in the study of Latin and Ancient Greek. The prizes are made possible by the generosity of donors. Recipients are selected by a consensus of members of the Classics faculty.

The James J. White Scholarship is conferred for high attainments in the advanced course in Greek.

The John H. Hamilton Scholarship in Greek was established by Mrs. Virginia Catherine Hamilton in memory of her son, a devoted alumnus.

The Mason Latin Prize was established in 2012, to recognize a student who has excelled in Latin.

The Departmental Scholarship in Latin is awarded each year to a student with high attainments in the Latin language.
