Robert Trennert-Peter Iverson Conference Scholarship

The Trennert-Iverson scholarship provides two $500 annual awards to graduate students at the M.A. or Ph.D. level to help lessen the burden of costs to attend the annual Western History Association conference. In addition to the $500 cash award, the scholarship covers the cost of conference registration and tickets to the welcoming reception, the graduate student reception, and the Awards Banquet. This scholarship honors two distinguished scholars: Peter Iverson, Emeritus Professor at Arizona State University who served as the 44th WHA president, and Robert Trennert, a charter member of the Western History Association and member of the Emeritus College at Arizona State University. Both scholars were dedicated mentors to graduate students and made significant contributions to American Indian history and Western history. The scholarship supports graduate students pursuing research in Western history and related fields.
