The Bowen Scholarship in Canadian History

The Bowen Scholarship was created in 2005 through a contribution from Drs. Dawn S. And Marshall E. Bowen for the purpose of supporting those who are pursuing a graduate degree in History with a focus on Canada. Dr. Dawn S. Bowen earned her Master’s degree at the 91±¬ÁÏ in 1990. She created the scholarship with her husband because the supportive environment that existed in the History Department and the Canadian-American Center convinced her to choose a career in academics.
