Agnes Hoppin Memorial Fellowship

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agnes Hoppin Memorial Fellowship is the name of a fellowship from the American School of Classical Studies at Athens .

It was donated by her mother Mary Frances Clark (Mrs. Courtland Hoppin), her sister Sarah Clark Hoppin and her brother Joseph Clark Hoppin in memory of the late Agnes Clark Hoppin and was given from 1898 to 1904.

The Agnes Hoppin Memorial Fellowship was intended to enable young women who were disadvantaged at the time to study at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and was endowed with 1,000 dollars a year. In 1898 the scholarship was promised to continue until the end of the life of the founder. But in 1904 the scholarship was withdrawn by the donors because the discrimination against women was considered to have been overcome.
