 Professor George P. Cuttino was a distinguished medieval historian in the Department of History for 32 years. In 1982 he provided a gift to the university to establish a scholarship endowment fund to aid history undergraduate students conducting research in overseas libraries. The George P. Cuttino Scholarship was established in 1985 and commemorates Professor Cuttino's commitment to undergraduate teaching in the department of history.
The Cuttino Scholarship is offered annually to a rising senior history major or joint major in Emory College. The scholarship provides for a summer (minimum of two months) of study and travel abroad between then student's junior and senior year. The stipend may be up to $10,000. All junior history majors and joint majors in Emory College with a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0 or above are eligible. A competition will be conducted each spring. Applicants must provide a typed double-spaced proposal -- not more than 2,000 words or 3 pages -- as to how they plan to utilize the scholarship if awarded. The proposal should describe the nature and value of the proposed research topic and include a precise research plan, itinerary, and anticipated budget (airfare, lodging, tuition, etc.).
In his/her senior year, the Cuttino Scholarship recipient must submit an oral or written report suitable for presentation or distribution to fellow history students and faculty detailing his/her use of the scholarship and the benefits garnered from it. Early in the spring semester (normally mid-February) a notice with deadline for submission of Cuttino Scholarship applications to the Director of Undergraduate Studies is issued. The Cuttino Scholarship recipient is selected by the History Department Undergraduate Committee and the announcement of the committee's decision is normally made in early to mid March (exact date to be determined each year). |

Professor George P. Cuttino was a distinguished medieval historian in the Department of History for 32 years. In 1982 he provided a gift to the University to establish a scholarship endowment fund to aid history undergraduate students conducting research in oversears libraries. That endowment has supported the George P. Cuttino Scholarship since 1985. In addition, the History Department made available in summer of 1998 the George P. Cuttino Summer Study Fellowships.
The G.P. Cuttino Summer Study Fellowships are offered annually to rising senior history and joint history majors in Emory College for study outside the United States in a summer study program. Priority is given to students enrolled in Emory Study Abroad programs. Several awards are given each year and can be as much as $4,000 each. The recipients of the fellowships must provide documentation of enrollment in an academic summer study abroad program in order to receive the awarded funds. Upon returning to Emory in the fall, the recipients must also provide documentation of their successful completion of the summer study program.
Early in the spring semester (normally mid-February) a notice with deadline for submission of Cuttino Fellowship applications to the Director of Undergraduate Studies is issued. To apply the student must provide a typed, double-spaced description of study plans, to include the advantages of the program selected and a justification for taking the chosen classes. Reference should also be made to requisite language skills, any summer research plans, and related future academic intent. A proposed budget (most study abroad programs work on a fixed fee) must be provided. The application must be supported by a letter from a History Department professor knowledgeable in the research area or study proposed. |
This prize was established in 1981 on the occasion of the retirement of Professor James Z. Rabun after thirty-four years' service in the department of history. The Rabun Prize is awarded annually to the graduating senior history major or joint major in Emory College who has achieved the best overall record in American history courses. Factors considered include range of courses taken, evidence of knowledge and analytical perspectives gained, and research skills demonstrated. The Rabun Prize recipient is determined by vote of the American history faculty. In awarding this prize, the department also honors Professor Rabun's distinctive traits of courtesy, integrity, wisdom, and unselfish devotion to his students and colleagues. The Rabun Prize consists of a book in the field of American history and is funded by Emory College. |
The Matthew A. Carter Citizen-Scholar Award was established in September 2000 by the Department of History in memory of Matt Carter who graduated from Emory in May 2000 with High Honors in History.
The award is given each year to the graduating history major or joint major in Emory College who exemplifies the qualities that made Matt Carter such an outstanding individual: high academic achievement and good works in the community. Graduating history majors and joint majors are nominated by History faculty members and the final selection of the recipient is made by the History Department Undergraduate Committee. |

In 1992, Mrs. Mary Spencer Jack Craddock ('33C) made a contribution to Emory in honor of her father, Theodore Henley Jack, an historian and early Emory history faculty, to be used for an award--the Theodore H. Jack Award--given to the outstanding senior in American history who plans to pursue graduate study in the field for a career in the profession.
In 1916 Dr. Jack was selected to head the History Department of the new Emory College. He became Dean of the Graduate School in 1919, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts in 1920, and Vice-president of Emory University in 1929. Mrs. Craddock's gift honors her father's commitment to Emory and to the discipline of American history.
Each spring, the History Department will solicit from history faculty and history majors the names of seniors graduating in that academic year who plan to pursue graduate study in American history for a career in the profession. In September, following documentation of admission and enrollment in graduate programs, the Undergraduate Committee of the History Department will consider the qualified candidates, select a winner and make an award of $500 to the Theodore H. Jack Award recipient. |
