12 months of stipend support (1 fellowship) per year for three years and a contribution to defray costs associated with the selection of fellows.

Since 1984 the Society for Classical Studies (SCS) has collaborated with the Thesaurus Institute in Munich, Germany, in order to provide an annual NEH-supported fellowship for an American scholar to spend a year at the Institute. Each fellow contributes lexicographical research to the Institute’s ongoing project, the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae, which is an encyclopedic lexicon of the Latin language and a flagship project in lexicography. Fellows participate in the creation of a major reference resource by contributing original research, and join an international network of scholars. Through their work on the TLL and their independent research, fellows advance our understanding of the Latin language and its influence on modern languages and cultures.
