Awardees
The Center currently offers two types of awards to Graduate Center students: graduate assistantships and funds for travel/research. Additionally, since 2021, the Center has provided archival research grants to students enrolled in a public history course offered by the Graduate Center's Ph.D. Program in History. The course is on twentieth-century U.S. foundations, and the grants were possible through generous funding from the Rockefeller Archive Center.
To learn more about the awards, visit the Awards for Students and Scholars page. Below is a list of current and past recipients of William Randolph Hearst Graduate Assistantships for Women and Minorities, Rockefeller Archive Center awards, and the Joan O. McCarthy Fund travel awards.
