History Day Recognition and Scholarships

All students participating in Kansas History Day receive statewide recognition and compete for medals,

scholarships, and prizes. Medals are awarded to the top three entries in every category. The top two

entries in each category receive an invitation to compete at National History Day in College Park,

Maryland, on June 10-14, 2018.

The third-place entry in each category also receives information about the National History Day

competition. In the event that either the gold or silver medalist(s) in a category is unable to enter the

national contest, third-place entries are invited to compete at the National History Day contest. The

awarding of third-place is very important. In recent years, third-place winners at Kansas History Day

have competed at the national contest, and made it into the finals. The third-place entries also receive

statewide recognition in newspapers and are able to highlight their achievement on college applications

and resumes.

Special awards and prizes are also available to students whose entries address certain historical topics.

These are open to any student with a topical entry, regardless of how that entry places in category

competition. This year, topical prizes were available to students with entries in the areas of Kansas City-

area history and the history of the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area.
