Every week, Perspectives Daily 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 travel grant 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 $1,000 Thomas C. Cundy travel grant for scholars and graduate students (ABD) to use the holdings of the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience in 2019-2020.
