    The Robert Griffith Memorial Scholarship for Public History has been set up in honor of the late Bob Griffith to support the education of Public History students at American University.

American University's Public History program prepares students to practice history in public, collaborating with communities and cultural institutions to document and interpret both local and national histories. 

A degree in public history opens doors to a number of professional fields, including museums, cultural tourism and community history, historic preservation and cultural resource management, libraries and archives, and new media. Learn more about what makes our public history program unique.
