David H. MacDonnell Fund

The David H. MacDonnell Scholarship is awarded to a rising junior with a minimum GPA of 3.0 who is a declared history major, with a preference for a student specializing in Irish or British History. If no student is found with this specialization, then the scholarship will be awarded to a student with an American History specialization. The scholarship may be renewed for the senior year if the recipient maintains the 3.0 GPA. This scholarship supports undergraduate students pursuing history degrees at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, providing financial assistance to help defray educational costs. The award amount varies based on available funds and is intended to recognize academic achievement in the field of history.
