Undergraduate Awards
EACH SPRING WE INVITE OUR HISTORY UNDERGRADUATES to apply for department awards and scholarships. In addition to an application, each applicant must receive a faculty recommendation to be considered for an award. Some award recipients plan to use the funds to study abroad, while others will use their scholarship to conduct research. For all, however, the Department of History scholarship they receive simply will help ease the financial burden of a college education.
Of course, these awards would not be possible without the generous support of our donors, some of whom were present at a luncheon held on April 25, 2023 at the Ohio Union to celebrate undergraduate student achievement.
