In addition to the many scholarships offered by the Mississippi University for Women as a whole, the History Program offers the Lottie Howard Scholarship.

MUW's history program also sponsors the Gamma Gamma chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the national History honors society. A few select majors are inducted annually, becoming life members of the society, which also offers fellowships for graduate study.

Over the years, some history majors at MUW have especially distinguished themselves among their peers in their coursework. The History faculty honor such students with the Clio Award, named for the muse of History. Their achievement is commemorated in a case on the second floor of Painter Hall. It is a long tradition of distinction. The history faculty look forward to adding new names to the program's own long, blue line.
