[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS]

Good morning Historians-

Just a reminder that the Department of History Scholarships & Awards Applications are open.  We are really trying hard to get the news out about these scholarships for current History students needing funding for the upcoming year.  They are due by March 22nd, 2023, but planning ahead is a good idea so that you can get all the materials together for a strong application.

See below for more information and links.

Sincerely,

Mark and Tracy

Subject: Department of History Scholarships & Awards Applications Now Open

Dear Historians,

The Department of History Scholarships and Awards application is open! Our department has several different scholarships and awards, and plans to give out approximately $200,000 in scholarships and awards to students this year - why not apply and see if one of these students could be you?!

You can read about our scholarships and awards, and find a link to the application, on our Department of History website: https://history.washington.edu/scholarships-and-awards.

Don't forget to also submit your nominations for the Pressly Endowed Prize for Outstanding History or Social Studies Teacher in a Washington School! Did you have a spectacular History or Social Studies teacher who you'd like to see get recognition for their hard work and passion for teaching? Then please scroll to the bottom of the Department of History Scholarships and Awards webpage (at the above link) and nominate them for this award! (All majors are welcome to nominate someone, so please feel free to encourage your friends to nominate their teachers, too!)

The application deadline is Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023.

A quick note - you will need two letters of recommendation from faculty as part of the application. If you are concerned that a faculty member may not know or remember you - reach out to them! Remind them of what course(s) you took with them, how you did in that course, what you enjoyed/learned from the course (and History in general), your goals, and any other information you feel might help them write a good letter of recommendation for you. If you're feeling nervous, use this as good (and low risk, potential high reward!) practice for advocating for yourself and networking!

If you have any questions about the application, please contact us at histadv at uw.edu<mailto:histadv at uw.edu>.

Thank you!

Mark and Tracy
