d. List any relevant academic honors, prizes, or scholarships that you have won.
e. List any relevant extracurricular activities in which you have participated.
f. Describe briefly what you intend to do after you complete your undergraduate degree (e.g., attend graduate school, travel, begin a career).
2. In an essay of no more than 500 words address this question:
Many people in the contemporary world, including not a few in academia, maintain that study in the Humanities, and in the Classics in particular, is no longer relevant, is non-utilitarian, and is therefore largely a waste of time. How would you respond to such a statement?
3. Arrange to have your official college or university transcript sent directly to the chair of the Stewart Scholarship Committee (at the address printed below) or, if your institution permits, include a copy of your official transcript with this application.
4. List recommenders whom you have asked to write on your behalf. These may be secondary-school, college, or university teachers; at least one of them should be familiar with your recent work in Classics. Include both letters of recommendation with your application; each letter should be in a sealed envelope, signed by the recommender across the seal.
Please tell your recommenders that, in addition to verification of and elaboration on the candidate's academic performance, the selection committee welcomes comments about relevant extra-curricular activities and other factors that may make the candidate especially worthy of an award.
