Alan Vance Briceland Scholarship

The Alan Vance Briceland Scholarship was established by Alan Briceland, Ph.D., professor emeritus of history.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
The scholarship will be awarded to a male student (open to all students who identify as male and/or non-binary) majoring in history who has, within the previous calendar year, received an “A” in History 300, Introduction to Historical Study. The scholarship will be
awarded to the student demonstrating the greatest degree of “historical mindedness,” that is, a realist view of how historical processes work, of what in the past is significant and what is parochial, and evidence of a sense that a knowledge of history is a useful and
practical tool for improving people’s quality of life in the 21st century.

NOMINATION AND SELECTION:

• Students do not apply for this scholarship, but those who meet the eligibility criteria may ask a History faculty member to consider nominating them. All selections are by a History Department faculty committee, which is composed of those faculty who taught HIST 300 in the previous calendar year. Non-binary students are eligible to be considered for the Alan Vance Briceland Scholarship and the Penelope Warren Briceland Scholarship.
