The Classical Association of the Middle West and South invites applications for the Dr. Anthony Fauci Award in STEM and Classics. This $500 annual award recognizes an undergraduate student who demonstrates outstanding work in both Classics and a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) or pre-med/pre-health/social science discipline. The Committee, at its discretion, may also confer prizes for first runner up ($200) and second runner up ($100).
Potential applicants for the Anthony Fauci Award in STEM and Classics should be aware of the following criteria for this award:
- Any undergraduate who is currently enrolled with Junior or Senior standing at a university or college in the USA or Canada is eligible for this award.
- The applicant must be a major in Classics/Classical Studies/Ancient Mediterranean Studies and/or a STEM discipline or pre-med/pre-health coursework track; the latter may also include a social science or public health discipline, as long as the relevant coursework involves significant quantitative analysis.
- The applicant must have undertaken significant coursework in the other field (e.g., a Classics major must demonstrate significant coursework in a STEM/pre-med/pre-health/social science discipline; or a STEM/pre-med/pre-health/social science major must demonstrate significant coursework in Classics).
