The NHD projects and research presented at the contest range widely in scope. Although done by middle and high school students, many of the projects rival work done at the collegiate level or by industry researchers. The National History Day finalists are not only talented scholars, but also a diverse group of teens that create an impressive national forum to discuss education reform in America s schools. The awards ceremony will be web cast by The History Channel and can be accessed from the National History Day web site listed below. It is funded by Cargill, The History Channel, and other corporations, foundations, and individuals.
Judges are university professors, high school teachers, museum curators and other public historians.
We will be happy to put you or your staff in contact with your local NHD coordinator, who can arrange for interviews and photo opportunities.
