Grant News

The Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies has announced that the next application closing date is 1st February 2025.

The Roman Society makes grants to schools to help promote Latin and Roman studies. Most grants are awarded for purchasing textbooks and other books on Roman topics. The Committee also awards groups, schools, and museums that organize lectures or study days on Roman themes, and money has recently been made available for archaeology fieldwork bursaries.

Schools that have recently been awarded funding include:

• Hereford Cathedral School received funding to run weekly Latin masterclasses;
• A grant from the Roman Society enabled Feniton C of E Primary School to buy books and extra resources to help their pupils have fun learning;
• A grant from the Roman Society enabled thirty pupils in Year 9 at Ysgol Brynhyfryd to study Classical Civilisation GCSE;
• The Sir Robert Hitcham CEVAP School Robert received a grant to help Year 4 pupils study aspects of the Roman invasion and its impact.

Applications from schools planning to start Latin courses are particularly welcome. Grants usually range from £50 to £600.

The Society now also offers grants to schools working with the Minimus books.
