Research Funding Sources

There are many ways for history students to earn additional funding for their research, both within and outside the university. Below is a list of some of these opportunities.

  • Fund for Undergraduate Scholarly Experiences (FUSE)- FUSE grants support faculty-mentored undergraduate student research and creative activity.


  • Graduate Research and Creative Activity (GRACA) - GRACA grants support faculty-mentored graduate student research and creative activity. Grants of up to $5,000 per student are available to UNO graduate students enrolled through Fall 2016.


  • University Committee on Research and Creative Activity (UCRCA) - The purpose of the UCRCA is to expand the capacity for research and creative activity at UNO. The UCRCA makes funding recommendations to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Creative Activity in as fair and as transparent a way as possible and supports all areas, types and disciplines of research and creative activity by pre- and post- tenured faculty and graduate and undergraduate students at UNO.

Roland Montgomery (History and Religious Studies Major) received a FUSE grant to aid his travels throughout the Northeast to conduct oral histories and archival research for his project "Wampum, Colonial Contact, and Preservation." He kept an active blog about his research experiences.
