NCPH DIVERSITY TRAVEL AWARD

Four $500 travel grants to support attendance at the NCPH Annual Meeting for representatives of minority-supporting institutions, including but not limited to universities (including HBCUs, HSIs, etc.), museums, historic sites, and other organizations that base their primary work in supporting marginalized communities through public history broadly defined.

Launched in 2024, this award fulfills one of the primary goals of the diversity pillar of the 2023-2028 Long Range Plan: to create more transparency in the Program Chair’s Discretionary Fund by converting it into a travel award to help support diversity at our annual meeting.

2024 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The National Council on Public History offers four $500 travel grants to encourage representatives of minority supporting institutions, including but not limited to universities (including HBCUs, HSIs, etc.), museums, historic sites, and other organizations that base their primary work in supporting marginalized communities through public history broadly defined. Each award recipient will be presented with a check mailed out prior to the conference (in 2024 the conference will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah). A certificate will be presented during the awards breakfast at the annual meeting. Award winners receive complimentary registration for the awards breakfast.
