Awards, valued at up to $2,500, will be provided annually to full-time undergraduate or graduate students in the Department of Classical Studies. Selection is based on academic achievement (minimum cumulative average of 75% or equivalent) and candidates must be pursuing an immersive experiential activity to support their interest and academic journey related to archeology and/or material culture. Eligible activities may include an archeological dig, a Classical Studies travel abroad course, or an internship at CIG (Canadian Institute in Greece). Interested students must complete an application that can be found on the Department of Classical Studies website. This award was established by C. McKenzie & Mary Lewis with Tracey and Georgia Levison, along with friends, students and colleagues in memory of Mac Lewis, a hands-on Roman archeologist who taught at the University of Waterloo in the Department of Classical Studies from 2018 until his untimely passing in March 2020.
Awards, valued at up to $2,500 annually. The value of each award will vary depending on the budget requirements for the experience and the availability of funds. Students will normally be awarded an amount to help with their costs rather than the full cost of the activity.
