The Department of History & Global Cultures at Cal State East Bay is proud to distribute approximately $30,000 in scholarships and academic awards each year, supporting undergraduate and graduate History students, including those pursuing History-Social Science Teacher Preparation. These awards recognize academic excellence, historical research, and student achievement while helping students pursue their educational goals.
Scholarship applications are accepted during designated periods in the Fall and Spring semesters, depending on the award. Recipients are recognized at the annual Wanda Washington Student Conference, held each April. Students are encouraged to explore the available scholarships, eligibility requirements, and application procedures.
These opportunities are made possible through the extraordinary generosity of the Friends of History & Global Cultures, an association of emeritus faculty, Cal State East Bay alumni, and community supporters who share a commitment to historical education and student success. Their continued support reflects the department's longstanding tradition of mentorship, academic excellence, and investment in future generations of scholars.
