Save the Date!
The 51th Annual Montana History Conference, "Central To History: Exploring Great Falls and Beyond," will be held September 26-28, 2024, at the Heritage Inn in Great Falls.
Keynote speakers will include Montana poet Laureate Chris LaTray, cowboy poet Randy Rieman, Indigenous foodways and cooking expert Mariah Gladstone, and Malmstrom Air Force Base historian Troy Halsell.
Renewal units will be available for both the Thursday educator workshop and all conference sessions and tours. (Check here after July 1 for more details.) We hope you’ll consider attending!
As in past years, we will be offering travel scholarships for both teachers and college students.
About the scholarships
Funded by the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, the scholarships will consist of full conference registration plus up to $400 in travel/expense reimbursement. All teachers and students in Montana’s colleges and universities are eligible to apply (residents of Great Falls and vicinity are eligible for the conference registration scholarship but not the travel reimbursement). We will also be offering scholarships to cover the $30 registration fee for teachers who only wish to attend the Thursday workshop.
Teacher recipients of the full scholarship must attend the entire conference, including Thursday’s Educators Workshop and the Saturday sessions. Student recipients must commit to attending all day Friday and Saturday, including a Saturday tour. Preference will be given to
- Great Falls area teachers
- Teachers and students from Montana tribal colleges
- Teachers from Montana's on-reservation schools
- Students from Montana community colleges and four-year universities
- Teachers from Montana rural, under-served communities.
Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. June 9, 2024. Awards will be announced on Friday, June 28, 2024. Applying for a scholarship is quick and easy. Apply online.
P.S. We've got workshops coming up in June as well in Great Falls, Helena, and Missoula. Find more information and links to register.
