In conjunction with university, college, and school district partners, through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, we are holding a series of National History Day judge training workshops around the state to increase the diversity of our judging pool. Educators (teachers, librarians, administrators, etc.) can receive a $130 stipend for attending.
