Why students should join
the Alliance for Texas History
The Alliance for Texas History was formed by and exists for those who believe that history is about discovery, dialogue, and the pursuit of understanding through evidence, critical analysis, and honest debate. As a student member, you will find yourself welcomed, respected, and engaged in a cohesive professional community of scholars and public historians. In addition to the value we provide to all members, additional benefits tailored to students include:
Opportunity to apply for student stipends to attend the annual conference.
Our focus on student panels for conference sessions and student research in the Journal of Texas History.
Support our open-access digital publication, the Journal of Texas History and receive early access to new issues.
Submit public history reviews or Vantage Point essays for the Journal.
Students receive a discounted rate for webinars and the annual conference, a vibrant gathering of historians, educators, and public leaders from across Texas.
If you become a student member by April 1, 2026, we will extend your membership for an additional 6 months! You’ll be ready to participate in our annual conference in Fort Worth in May, meet new colleagues, and join our effort to ensure that every Texas story matters.
