The Lionel Pearson Fellowship is a top national honor presented each year by the American Philological Association, one of the top two professional associations for Classics in North America.  Each year, one senior undergraduate nationwide is selected for the award.  The Pearson Fellowship funds a year of post-graduate study in Classics at a university in the U.K.  She plans to apply to the M.A. program in the City of Rome at the University of Reading.  This unique program combines coursework in ancient languages, history, and art at the Reading campus with several months of study and research at the British School in Rome.
