The Ashton Welch History Fellows Program is the premier scholarship and training program for the study of history at Creighton. It supports undergraduate historical research and career preparation by providing funding, mentoring, and supplemental programming.
Welch Fellows will receive $2500 per year for up to four years ($10,000 total) for educational expenses. These expenses may include tuition, internship stipends, research funds, subsidies for Creighton study abroad programs, and other pre-approved activities. Welch Fellows will have faculty mentors and will be invited to participate in special programming like meetings with visiting scholars and career preparation workshops.
The Creighton University Department of History encourages students to pursue their interests and discover new ones through active engagement in historical inquiry. Students will not just study history; they will do it. We seek highly motivated students who have the desire to engage in classroom debate, to explore archives and museums, and to speak with participants in important historical events. We offer mentored research opportunities with influential scholars; internships in cultural institutions and businesses; study abroad in Ireland, the Philippines, and other countries; the chance to present and publish original work in a variety of venues; and an innovative program in Digital Humanities.
