History Conference scholarships

[Lambert, Kirby]

Washington Foundation Scholarships Available for Teachers and Students

 

Thanks to the generosity of the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation in Missoula, the Montana Historical Society is pleased to offer scholarships for attendance at the 37^th Annual Montana History Conference.   This year the conference will be held in Helena at the Red Lion Colonial Hotel from September 30 through October 2.   The theme will center on the Centennial Anniversary of Glacier National Park.  Sessions will explore a wide range of topics ranging from the Native Americans who inhabited the region long before it was a park to the history of wildlife management and search and rescue in the park.  A more detailed schedule will be available this summer.

 

The scholarships will consist of full conference registration plus a $275 travel/expense reimbursement.  All teachers and students in Montana’s high schools, colleges, and universities are eligible to apply (residents of Helena and the immediate vicinity are eligible for the conference registration scholarship but not the travel reimbursement).  Recipients must attend the entire conference.  Preference will be given to

 

·         Teachers and students from Montana’s tribal colleges;

·         Teachers and students from Montana’s on-reservation high schools;

·         Teachers and students from Montana’s community colleges;

·         Teachers and students from Montana’s small, rural, underserved communities.
