Through a Lens: Celebrating the Marine Corps' 250th anniversary
Imagine a birthday celebration so huge, there was a party being thrown in each state. With the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's 50 State Cake-Cutting initiative, the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Marine Corps is being celebrated in just that way.
All funds raised this year on #GivingTuesday will serve to support PHS’s Research Fellowship Program, which awards annual research and travel grants to eligible scholars, students and independent researchers who wish to use PHS’s rich holdings.
Since 2004, the program has supported scholarships in a range of fields including mission history, social justice movements and ecumenism. Fellows submit reports to PHS and are encouraged to publish their work in the Journal of Presbyterian History.
One grateful recipient of both financial and research assistance was 2025 Research Fellow Dr. Amber R. Clifford-Napoleone. Watch the video below to hear how the grant benefitted Dr. Clifford-Napoleone, in her own words.
