History Department Research Grant
The History Department at Western Oregon University is pleased to offer a History Research Grant to history majors in their senior year. This grant is designed to support student research and the costs associated with that research for the History 499 Senior Seminar course. The grant amount varies year to year but has historically been in the range of $200-$350.
Students who have completed all of the Fall and Winter Senior Seminar requirements are eligible for the research grant.
To apply, history majors entering the History 499 Senior Seminar in the spring term should submit the following materials to Professor Kimberly Jensen, Chair, Department of History by 5:00 p.m. on March 28, 2011:
A one-page budget. Provide an itemized list of your budget needs and a paragraph discussing how you would use the research grant funds. (Past examples have included photocopying, purchase of books or other research materials, travel to Portland or Eugene for archival or library research, etc.)
A copy of your most recent unofficial transcripts. You may use a print-out from your Wolf Web account.
A copy of your original paper.
The application materials must be submitted to the history chair by 5:00 p.m., March 28, 2011. You may bring them to the Social Science Division office at HSS 231A during business hours.
The research grant will be awarded by the history faculty in a competitive process. In addition to the application materials described above, the history faculty will also consider the completion of fall/winter assignments such as the annotated bibliography.
The recipient(s) of this grant will be recognized at an awards celebration sponsored by the WOU foundation.
