About the LACHS Scholarship Program

In 2019, the Los Angeles City Historical Society implemented a program to award scholarships to outstanding history graduate students at local universities and colleges. We hope that LACHS members and friends wish to support the program by donating funds to the program. Please note that 100% of all donations will go to students.

The Board recognizes the critical value of the study and analysis of history to our democracy and seeks to encourage outstanding students in the field.
