Description
Starting in January 2025, Phi Alpha Theta and the FHSU History Program are committed to attending the American Historical Association Annual Meeting every year, with this upcoming year being held in New York City. The AHA Annual Meeting is a national conference for historians to come together and share research and professional development. This trip includes students selected through application and several faculty. The purpose of the Phi Alpha Theta Travel Assistance Scholarship/Fund is to help alleviate the expenses of PAT students traveling for these academic conferences and events. We wanted to start this donation-based scholarship/fund with the hope of creating opportunities for members, present and future, to be able to access these conferences and events that they may not have been able to attend due to the various financial expenses associated with travel, such as air travel, transportation, hotels, meals, etc.; Donations will help to ensure that we will be able to continue going on these trips in the future. Phi Alpha Theta is the honor society and student organization for history majors at FHSU. We work to provide an environment for FHSU history majors to engage in intellectual discussions and further grow their interests in a particular area through activities, guest speakers, movie discussions, general conversation, and social events.
