Back in December I was given a scholarship by the Cache Valley Historical Society, the first year they've given scholarships, and apparently there's a big to-do about it. So I thought I would post the article for those who are interested to read it. I didn't realize there would be this much fuss about, because there was also a blurb about it in the school paper and on the radio. Weird.
"Two students get scholarships to study history
Two Utah State University students will be awarded scholarships this week by the Cache Valley Historical Society. Jamie Van Huss and Kandice Newren will receive $1,000 and $500, respectively. Van Huss, a Cache Valley native, is a graduate student completing a master’s degree in history. She is the Western Historical Quarterly Ellsworth Fellow and will graduate in May. She hopes to turn her thesis on Cache Valley historic architecture into a guidebook. Newren, who was born in Logan and attended high school in Yakima, Wash., is a senior at USU majoring in history. She works at the USU Museum of Anthropology and will receive a museum studies certificate in addition to her bachelor’s degree in May. She completed an internship at USU’s Special Collections and Archives. The two scholarships come from ticket sale proceeds from a historic home tour held in September 2008. The society’s monthly meeting begins at 7 p.m. in Room 840 of the Bridgerland Applied Technology Center. Founded in 1951, the Cache Valley Historical Society is the oldest county chapter of the Utah State Historical Society and one of the few in the country that straddles two states."
