Since 2014, funds from John Nau III have allowed top students at UTSA’s Department of History to prosper as scholars and historians. The UTSA Master’s in History Program encourages research in history, with at least two of our Nau Scholars annually researching Texas history and 19th Century U.S. Civil War history. With the renewal of funding from our generous donor in 2020, we decided to hold an annual symposium featuring Nau Scholars currently enrolled--and one or more of our former Nau Scholars (currently enrolled in doctoral programs) at an annual presentation of research. We hoped to highlight how our program nurtures and promotes historical research and to encourage more scholars to enroll and promote the historical values associated with the Nau Scholarships.
