The application process for the department’s scholarships for the following academic year (2009-2010) is now underway. Applications must be received by April 9 to be considered. Awards will be announced at the department’s banquet on Friday, April 24.
This year, in addition to our regular merit scholarships (Vance, Darter, Farmer, and Caldwell), the department adds a new scholarship, the William B. Crawley, Jr. scholarship in history.
Details about the scholarships and their requirements are located here: http://www.umw.edu/cas/history/scholarships__awards/default.php [scroll down to the bottom to see the specific requirements for each scholarship.]
Note that the department encourages people to apply for ALL scholarships for which they is eligible. Frankly, the more you apply for, the more likely your chances are.
Go to http://umwhistory.org/histsurvey/index.php?sid=31342&lang=ento apply. [Each scholarship application requires a brief (250 word) essay explaining why you fit the criteria for that scholarship.]
