Read “Dead” Languages Scholarship
The I Read “Dead” Languages Scholarship is just what true classicists have been waiting for! There are not many available scholarships for students majoring in the Classics, Latin, or Greek. Why you ask? There is an erroneous perception that these subjects are not applicable to our “modern world.” That view is incorrect for so many reasons, starting with the fact that undergraduate classics majors have higher GRE scores than any other major. It is no surprise that they also have higher success rates when it comes to Law and Medical School acceptances as well. The so called “dead” languages of Greek and Latin make learning come alive! Studying classic texts in their original language helps us better analyze, communicate, and understand our complex world from a historical vantage point.
