In honor of E. Adelaide Hahn, an award of up to $6,000 will be
made in the spring toward the cost of study in the summer session of the
American
School of Classical Studies at Athens or the
American Academy in
Rome. Applicants must have been CAAS members in good standing for two
consecutive years prior to the year in which they apply. Preference will be
given to pre-college teachers, graduate students, and those who have not
previously received this award, with priority given to those who live and work
