This Department fellowship of $4000 is to reward students who are both academically successful and contributors to the department; the fellowship is also meant to assist students financially so that they can continue in the program. Faculty members nominate students for the fellowship and the Graduate Committee makes the final selection. The Department awards two fellowships of $3000 each to continuing graduate students. Like the other fellowships, these are to recognize academically successful graduate students and to assist them financially. Students are nominated by faculty members and the final two are chosen by the Graduate Committee of the Department.

The San Francisco State University Graduate Student Award for Distinguished Achievement is conferred on students who have earned a distinguished record of academic performance and contribution in the major field. Nomination for the award is based on criteria that are specified by the faculty in the respective graduate major subject areas. Academic achievement, contribution to the profession or discipline, to the department, college or university, or to the community are examples of student achievement that may be taken into consideration. In the History Department, the Graduate Committee chooses nominees for the award from faculty recommendations based on the top 6 GPA earners to the committee, and then 1 or 2 nominees are sent to the College of BSS and are ultimately determined by the College Graduate Advising Committee (i.e. all of the graduate coordinators). The Purpose of the Herodotus Fund for Graduate Travel in History is to assist promising graduate students majoring in History at San Francisco State University to travel both domestically and internationally for presenting papers and doing research.

The department has need of qualified graduate students as assistants for lower-division survey classes. Their major duty is to grade exams or papers, with the total time of 35 hours per course per semester. The rate of pay is modest - about $10/hr- but if you are planning to teach or apply for Doctoral study, this can be valuable experience to list on your application. If you are interested, either stop by the History Department office and ask for an application, or print one out and drop it off at the History Department.
