Travel Funding
Additionally, all students are eligible to apply for travel funding from the GSS, which automatically funds $600 in travel expenses per graduate student each cycle so long as they apply by the deadline. Our department typically supplements, in the form of reimbursements for additional expenses, any travel funding a graduate student receives, whether from the GSS or from external funding sources.
Do I need to apply for funding?
You do not need to apply for funding. All students who have applied to our graduate programs, or who are currently in our graduate program unfunded and plan to continue the following year, will be fully considered for funding without any special application or expression of interest in funding.
Renewal
Students on fellowship are reviewed annually for renewal. Assuming appropriate performance, MA student fellowships will be renewed for a second year. The fellowships will be canceled, however, in cases of unsatisfactory academic performance.

Submitting Your Application
Go here to submit your graduate application. International students follow the steps for "Graduate International Students." Domestic students follow the steps for "Graduate Degree Students." You will request your undergraduate transcript.
Statement of Purpose
This document should be around 500 words long and should explain to us why you would like to study in our department. We use the document primarily to determine whether you are a good fit for what we have to offer, though the Statement of Purpose also gives us a sense of your writing, research, and reasoning skills.
Writing Sample
You should also decide what you might want to submit for a writing sample. This should be at least 12 pages long, should have a thesis, and should draw on both primary and secondary sourcing. Usually, this is a history research paper. This paper should demonstrate that you can write clearly and well, that you can develop an interesting thesis, and that you can defend it with a combination of well-selected primary and secondary research. You can feel free to improve on a paper that you have already submitted for another purpose before using it as your writing sample.
