Our Funds
History Associates Development Fund
This fund provides an invaluable source of support for faculty and graduate travel to professional conferences after the University's limited funds have run out. Occasionally, the fund is used to host visitors or make purchases for special departmental activities.
Ethan A. Schmidt Memorial Award
In 2015, the History Department established a fund with KU Endowment to honor the memory of Ethan Schmidt. Ethan earned a PhD from the History Department in 2007. On September 14, 2015, he died tragically, shot by a fellow colleague without provocation while in his office at Delta State University. The award provides support for the graduate student research and professional development.
Other Giving Opportunities
If you would like more information on how to use your money to create a new fund altogether, please get in touch with the Department of History Chairperson.
