History provides knowledge for unlocking all other realms of human development. The study of history provides a solid foundation not only for history and social studies education majors<\/a>, but for careers in law, business, government, international relations, journalism, library services and museums, to name but a few. As peoples of different ethnicities interact with each other more frequently in the 21st century, understanding each other’s past paves the way for harmonious and beneficial cross-cultural relations.<\/p>\n London and Paris Travel Abroad 2025<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n History students are awarded approximately $4480\u00a0in scholarships each year<\/strong>\u2014just one part of the\u00a0$9.7 million EWU awards annually<\/strong>\u00a0to nearly 1,500 students through a single scholarship application.
