This is a generous program that brings college juniors and senior to New York City to participate in historical research during the summer:

The Gilder Lehrman Institute

welcomes applications from sophomore and junior History and American Studies majors for the 2009 Gilder Lehrman History Scholars Program in New York City.

Last year, 15 outstanding undergraduates were selected for the summer research program in New York City from the following colleges: Bryn Mawr College; Case Western Reserve University; Clark University; the College of William and Mary; Concordia College; Cornell College; the George Washington University; Harvard College; Marian College; Rice University; Stanford University; SUNY Geneseo; the University of Richmond; Washington University; and Yale University. In addition to seminars with eminent historians and behind-the-scenes visits to archives and museums in New York City, the students worked with the Henry Knox papers in the Gilder Lehrman Collection and wrote document-based introductions to various topics in the history of the American Revolution.
