Student Scholarships to History Camp Boston 2025
Thanks to the generosity of Scott Kirsner and Amy Traverso, this year we are able to provide a limited number of scholarships to college students.
Who can apply?
College students who have a “.edu” college/university affiliated email address.
What is covered?
These scholarships cover the registration fee for History Camp Boston on Saturday, August 9, and include lunch. Students will be responsible for their own travel and lodging and will be expected to fully participate in all that History Camp has to offer.
What is the application process?
These scholarships will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Simply fill out this Google Form to give us your information. This isn’t an essay contest, but we would like to know a little about you. And because of the limited number of spots, please only apply if you are 100% certain that you will attend if you receive a scholarship. We will reach out within 10 days of submitting your application. The Google Form will close to submissions and this page will be updated when we have allocated all scholarships.
What about the tours on Sunday or the this year’s History Camp Boston 2025 t-shirt?
The scholarship applies to the fee for Saturday’s History Camp and includes lunch. You can purchase those other items when you register.
Where can I learn more about History Camp?
This video provides a good overview. In fact, it includes a clip with Scott! You can also view last year’s speakers and sessions to learn more about what the day will look like.
Who do I contact if I have more questions?
Send an e-mail to Jessica Rossi.
