Agnes Hoppin Memorial Fellowship

The Agnes Hoppin Memorial Fellowship was an academic fellowship intended to “lift the restrictions on women in the study of archaeology”. It was established at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens in 1898 by the Hoppin family.[1]

The award was founded in memory of Agnes Clark Hoppin by her brother, Professor Joseph Hoppin.[2] It was awarded from 1898-1904 and was worth $1,000 per year.
