More than 2,000 student and teacher finalists will compete for significant awards. Top student winners will receive full-tuition scholarships to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Oh., and the University of Maryland at College Park. After twelve years of participating with eighth-grade students in National History Day, I still say it's the greatest thing I can do with kids. Since 1974, National History Day has grown from a Cleveland, Ohio, competition with about 100 students to a national education program. 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.
