In 1985, the David M. Roth Memorial Endowed Scholarship was established in remembrance of David M. Roth, renowned Connecticut historian and Eastern history professor of 23 years. It is awarded to a History or History and Social Science major with distinguished academic performance and with evidence of initiative and leadership in the field. A change in the agreement in 2008, allowed the fund to also be used to assist students-in need and in good standing on an emergency basis.

Students are encouraged to file the FAFSA by March 1
