Cache Valley Historical Society Scholarships

Memo
To: Staff members of the College of Humanities and Social Science
From: Cache Valley Historical Society
Date: March 5, 2012

Regarding: Available Scholarships

The Cache Valley Historical Society will award two $1,000 scholarships, for use in the 2013-14 school year, to either undergraduate or graduate students who are involved in a faculty-supervised project focused on Cache Valley History. The project may be a research paper, thesis, archival collection, exhibit, etc. We are defining Cache Valley history broadly as folklore, anthropology, archeology, preservation, public history, etc. Projects may be new proposals but our selection committee will give equal consideration to those with projects already in progress. The project need not be limited to Cache Valley but may include surrounding areas, even the entire state and southern Idaho provided the focus is on how Cache Valley fits in.

Nominations may be made by faculty members or applications may be made by students, but students must have a faculty member supervising the project. Nominations or applications must contain the following information in the same order:

• Name of nominee or applicant.
• Student’s mailing address.
• Student’s e-mail address.
• Current student status (e.g. senior, 2nd year master, etc.).
• Student’s major.
• Name of faculty supervisor.
• University address of faculty supervisor.
• E-mail address of faculty supervisor.
• Description of proposed project.

What will the end product of the project be (e.g., paper, thesis, musical composition, historical drama, exhibit, etc.)?

How will the project increase knowledge and/or awareness of Cache Valley history?
Any information that indicates your qualifications (e.g., interest in subject, previous experience, any previous related work, etc.).

Any biographical information that applicant or nominator thinks might be helpful to the selection committee.

In addition, the committee must have a letter of recommendation from the faculty supervisor for the project. Recommendation letters may be e-mailed or postal mailed to the address below.

Applications or nominations are to be submitted (e-mail is preferred) by February 28, 2013 to:
