HISTORY SENIOR THESIS RESEARCH GRANTS  
Call for Applications   
The Barnard History Department is delighted to announce a new research grant to support senior thesis research.   
Parameters: All senior History majors are eligible to apply. The maximum grant is $500. Eligible expenses include: trips to libraries, archives, or museums; access fees charged by archives; xeroxing and other reproduction costs; and other necessary costs for your senior thesis research.  
Please note that we cannot give advances; we can only reimburse you for invoices or receipts you have already paid for. If you receive a grant, you still need to pay for the expenses first.  
Application Procedures: Consult with your senior thesis adviser about your research needs. If you want to travel to an archive, library, or museum, explain why you’d have to go in person and the materials to be consulted. State the current title of your thesis and describe the main issues you are researching in a few sentences. Include a budget and the total requested. The entire application should be no longer than one page.  
The deadline for the first round of competition (in time for research over winter break) is Nov. 22, 2019. Results will be announced by Nov. 29.
