About
The Immigration and Ethnic History Society (IEHS) was founded in 1965 as the Immigration History Group and promotes the study of the history of immigration to North America from all parts of the world. It was renamed the Immigration History Society in 1972 and subsequently chartered as a non-profit organization in Minnesota. The Society publishes the Journal of American Ethnic History (JAEH), offers awards and prizes recognizing excellence in scholarship in immigration and ethnic history, maintains an expert database, and provides educational resources on immigration history.
Funding Opportunities
George E. Pozzetta Dissertation Award
The Immigration and Ethnic History Society (IEHS) invites submissions for two awards of $3,500 each to help graduate students with their dissertations on U.S. immigration, emigration, or ethnic history, broadly defined. These awards are intended for graduate students in the process of researching and writing their dissertations, not for students completing and defending in 2026. The committee invites applications from any Ph.D. candidate who will have completed qualifying exams by the end of 2025. The award supports dissertation research on topics related to immigration, emigration, or ethnic history in the United States. Awardees who do not have sufficient funds to attend the IEHS banquet to receive their award will have an opportunity to request limited financial assistance from the Immigration and Ethnic History Society.
Digital History Seed Grants
The Immigration and Ethnic History Society (IEHS) invites submissions for awards, up to $2,000 each, to support graduate students and early-career scholars seeking to develop or engage with digital history work connected to migration history and related fields. The IEHS aims to support projects that explore how digital history can be a transformative tool in researching, teaching, and making migration history more accessible to scholars and the public. Priority will be given to projects introducing innovative digital methods, tools, or technologies that demonstrate feasibility, usefulness to the scholarly community, and potential for broader public engagement. The primary goal of these grants is to help incubate promising projects, providing recipients with resources to demonstrate proof of concept and prepare them for pursuing additional funding and development opportunities.
