Educational Awards

scholarshipNSCDA Regional Educational Awards

Four scholarships of $5,000 each are funded by The National Society each year and administered by the Corporate Societies on a rotating schedule. The NSCDA-CA  awarded one of these scholarships in 2015/16. The next year we will be offering this scholarship is in 2025/26. The scholarships are awarded to students working toward doctorate degrees in American History defined as any period of American history, political science, historic restoration and preservation or administration of historic sites.

NSCDA District Educational Awards

These awards are funded by donations from the Societies within the eleven defined Districts of The NSCDA. On a rotating schedule, the Societies within each District take turns selecting the recipients. The NSCDA-CA awarded one of these scholarships in 2015/16 and will again in 2021/22.  The amount of the awards depends upon the donations received.

Like the Regional Awards, the recipient shall be conducting research toward a doctorate in any period of American history, political science, historic restoration and preservation or research and administration of historic sites.
