Raymond J. Cunningham Prize for Undergraduate Articles

The American Historical Association offers the Raymond J. Cunningham Prize annually for the best article published in a journal written by an undergraduate student. The prize recognizes outstanding scholarly work by undergraduates that demonstrates excellence in historical research and writing. The prize selection committee typically gives preference to articles that incorporate primary sources. The award provides $500 each to both the author and the journal that published the article. Recipients are announced on the AHA website in October and recognized during a ceremony at the AHA annual meeting.
