Awards & Scholarships

History majors and graduate students have access to a number of scholarships and awards, some of which are listed below. Some are awarded by the faculty, while others, like the Dickerson and Welling Scholarships, require a separate application (contact the History Department for details). But if you want funding, you need to help us out by, yes, filling out a form.

To be eligible for all possible awards and scholarships, students must fill out 国产AV鈥檚 Universal Scholarship Application. The application is available between December 1 and March 1 for new freshmen and continuing students. After March 1 it will be too late to be considered for the upcoming year. Transfer, graduate and international students have until June 1 to apply. 

We would love to give you funding, but we can only do so if you apply. Fill out that form before the deadline!
