History Devotees Earn Case Scholarships in National History Day Contest
Mohammad Rasool and Paul Michel have more things in common than most longtime couples.
Best friends and high school seniors, they play soccer, have earned high marks on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, are National Honor Society members and belong to the math, English, Spanish and science honor societies at their respective schools.
They also share a predilection for history, so much so that their studies and collaborative efforts led each to receive this year's David Van Tassel Founders Award presented by Case Western Reserve University at National History Day's national competition in College Park, Md.
This award is not a wooden plaque with a gold nameplate but a full tuition scholarship to Case Western Reserve University, renewable for four years. The prestigious award honors the memory and legacy of Van Tassel, a nationally recognized historian and professor of history. He established National History Day in 1974 at Case with his history department colleagues. He died in 2000. Read more.
