Every week, AHA Today showcases a new grant, fellowship, or scholarship of interest to historians which has been posted to our free Calendar. This week we are featuring the Thomas C. Cundy Fund for World War II Era Research Travel Grant Program from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience. 

Honoring the memory and lasting vision of Thomas C. Cundy, Sr., the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience, Department of History, Florida State University, anticipates offering at least one $500 travel grant for scholars and graduate students (ABD) to use the holdings of the Institute in 2018–2019. Among the noteworthy holdings are the Tom Brokaw Collection containing letters, photographs, and manuscripts used in the writing of the Greatest Generation. Founded in 1997, the Institute maintains one of the nation’s largest archives documenting the human dimension of World War II.
