Gorgias Book Grant

Welcome to the Gorgias Book Grant Program

The Gorgias Book Grant was first awarded in 2002. It is an important part of our ongoing efforts to support young scholars in the humanities. Every year, Gorgias chooses two graduate students to receive an award of $500 worth of Gorgias titles (each) for demonstrating excellence in their fields.

2020 Grant Field: Any field within the scope of Gorgias Publications
