Scholarships

  • This scholarship, endowed by Dean Kaukinen of the Norman J. Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences in memory of her father, is available to first-generation students majoring in history education.  In memory of her father, Kaukinen committed $25,000 for scholarships set aside for first-generation students majoring in history education. The Gary Kaukinen Memorial Scholarship will initially provide $1,000 per year, and the hope is that additional donors will add to that amount as years go on. Kaukinen’s father had particular passion for history and was an educator for more than 30 years.
