According to the MAA website:

” A limited number of stipends are available for graduate students and particularly promising undergraduate students participating in summer courses in medieval languages or manuscript studies.* The stipend will be paid directly to the student and must be used to offset a portion of the tuition cost. The awards are contingent on acceptance into the program. Applicants must be members of the Medieval Academy in good standing with at least one year of graduate school remaining and must demonstrate both the importance of the summer course to their program of study and their home institution’s inability to offer analogous coursework

“*Please note that the MAA will soon open application portals for three Summer Skills Workshops to be run under its own auspices (in Old French, Latin Paleography, and Medieval Latin). These workshops are heavily subsidized and will therefore not be eligible for MAA/CARA Tuition Scholarships.

“Click here to apply. The required letter of recommendation should be sent by email as a signed PDF on letterhead to the Executive Director at LFD@TheMedievalAcademy.org. The letter of recommendation must be submitted by April 1.

“Applications must be received by 1 April and will be judged by the CARA Committee. There will be between four and eight awards yearly, depending upon the number of worthy applicants and the cost of the summer programs. Due to limited resources, CARA Summer Scholarship awards normally will not exceed US$1000.”

Eligible programs include (but are not limited to):

• Aarhus Universitet (medieval Latin or Old Norse)
• Catholic University of America, Center for Medieval and Byzantine Studies and Department of Greek and Latin (Latin, Greek, Paleography)
• Dumbarton Oaks (Greek)
• Fordham University (Latin, Spanish, French)
