SOUTHWEST ORAL HISTORY ASSOCIATION

Scholarships to 2000 Meeting in Long Beach, California

The Southwest Oral History Association is offering two scholarships to enable individuals interested in oral history to attend its annual meeting, which will be held April 28-30, 2000, at the WestCoast Hotel in Long Beach, California.  The weekend-long conference will include beginning and advanced workshops, panel presentations, a luncheon, and a plenary session.

Students, teachers, independent oral historians, and individuals affiliated with nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply for scholarships.  Preference will be given to applicants from the SOHA region, which includes Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Southern California, although others are welcome to apply.

How to apply 

To be considered for a scholarship, applicants must submit an application letter and résumé to SOHA's Scholarships and Grants Committee.  The letter should include: (1)  background on the applicant's interest in oral history, and an explanation of how the scholarship will advance the applicant's goals in the field of oral history;  (2) a statement of the applicant's financial need, and an indication of the level of financial support, if any, that is offered by the applicant's institution or employer; (3) the names and phone numbers of two professional or academic references.

Each scholarship will cover conference and workshop registration, and will include a cash award of $250, which will be presented during the meeting in Long Beach.  The recipients must attend the Long Beach meeting in order to receive the scholarships.
