Grants and Awards

With the generous funding from the Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research, the Department sponsors an annual competition for the best paper written for a history course in the previous calendar year (papers submitted for the Undergraduate Research Fellow Program are not eligible for this award). Winners receive a modest cash prize and certificate. Students need not be history majors or currently enrolled to be considered for the prize.

For information please contact: Dr. Hoi-eun Kim, hekim@tamu.edu

To apply for the prize, send an electronic version of your paper and information on the course and term for which it was written to Dr. Hoi-eun Kim. The annual deadline is March 1st.

The Department of History offers Undergraduate Scholarly Activities Grants. Ranging from $250-$500, these competitive grants support students pursuing scholarly activities in history, including but not limited to off-campus research and presentations at scholarly conferences. Recipients must submit a one-page report within a month of using the funds. The Department of History Undergraduate Committee accepts and reviews applications on an ongoing basis. For more information, please contact Dr. Hoi-eun Kim.

Each semester, the Department of History offers a limited number of Study Abroad Grants (typically up to $1,000). These competitive grants support undergraduate history majors undertaking study abroad experiences. Recipients are required to submit a one-page report detailing use of the grant money and give a short presentation on their experience to other history majors afterwards.

To apply, submit: 1) a completed application and; 2) a letter of recommendation from a history faculty member supporting their application. Please send materials electronically to Dr. Dr. Hoi-eun Kim (hekim@tamu.edu).

Due dates (all 5pm) are as follow:

• November 1st for trips the following spring semester
• March 1st for summer trips, and
• April 1st for trips during fall semester.
