Preyer History Fellows Program

The History department has a long tradition of excellence, with award-winning faculty, enterprising students, and alumni who have gone on to embark on successful careers in business, law, non-profits, and public service.

The Preyer History Fellows Program builds on this tradition of excellence by rewarding high-achieving undergraduate history majors with scholarships to pursue international study, internships, and more. These fellows also have access to conferences and networking events, giving them opportunities for both individual research and collaborative learning that will equip them for transformative experiences as students and professional success as alumni.

• Receive at least $2000 in awards and independent research funds.
