FUNDING
Conference Travel Support Available (Rolling as per availability of funds)
The History Department has some funding available to support undergraduate History majors who have been accepted to present their work at a professional conference. Support is limited to one opportunity per academic year and is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis until funding runs out. Due to high demand, we are only able to support students who are confirmed presenters on the conference program; we cannot support general attendance. For more information, please contact Christina at christina.matta@wisc.edu.
