Opportunities with the Humanities Division
Within the Humanities Division, each department has established their own sets of awards and opportunities to help support and celebrate their students. These can range from scholarships designed to assist those students with demonstrated financial need, to prizes which reward academic excellence, to assistance for students studying abroad.
As a starting point for your scholarship search, we've put together a centralized list of departmental scholarships and awards from the Humanities Division. For more information, you can reach out to the department, or set up an appointment with an advisor through Humanities Academic Services.
