Funding

The Department of History maintains programs through which to recognize and celebrate outstanding scholarly achievement by our graduate students. Through awards and prizes, the Department of History salutes doctoral program students whose work is exemplary. These programs honor students who have a deep personal commitment and passion for preserving, interpreting and perpetuating the history of the many cultures throughout the world. Our current student achievements are listed here

Departmental Awards

The department gives students fellowships in the form of summer stipends and continuing fellowship support after the first year. The Graduate Program Committee nominates a limited number of admitted students for "named fellowships" such as the Jackson, Marchand, Eugene V. Debs and Reed-Smith. The department also offers the yearly Scholz Prize, which is given to students who write the best research papers in the 203 research seminar. Departmental prizes and fellowships are generally awarded based on merit and area of study.

Travel Awards

History offers support for student participation in scholarly conferences and workshops, such as the American Historical Association's annual conference. The Graduate Program Coordinator sends a call for proposals every quarter.

There is travel funding available through the Office of Graduate Studies as well. Graduate Studies accepts applications for graduate travel to meetings of nationally and internationally recognized professional societies twice annually. Each award period allows nine months for future conferences and three months for conferences that have already taken place. Graduate students at or near the completion of their studies who have not previously received this award and who are presenting a research paper (acceptance of paper may be pending at time of application) are eligible. See application available at https://grad.ucdavis.edu/travel-awards

UC Davis Graduate Fellowships

Graduate Studies administers several campus-based fellowship programs, including awards to support campus diversity. UC Davis uses a variety of internal fellowship funds to support academic graduate students. Internal fellowships can provide financial support in the form of a stipend (or "living allowance"), Tuition & Fee, Nonresident Supplemental Tuition (NRST), research, travel or any combination of these. The value of the fellowships varies from $1,000 to as much as a $50,000/year award. Internal fellowships are paid in a single academic year (October through June) unless otherwise noted.
